Remington: The Complete Prints
Intense interest in the work of Frederick Remington (1861-1909) has led to a renewed appreciation of Western art in general. This volume, which accompanies a traveling exhibition, offers basic catalog information on and glorious color reproductions of 148 prints. Not only do the prints document Remington's commercial art, but sometimes they are the only color reproductions extant of approximately 100 canvases that he purposely torched. Although the authors have penned numerous books on Remington and Western art (e.g., Frederick Remington: A Biography , LJ 8/82), the casually written and disjointed text aimed at a popular audience is the weakest component of the book. Appropriate for art reference and related collections.- Kathleen Eagen Johnson, Historic Hudson Valley, Tarrytown, N.Y.Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
