Charles Marion Russell (1864-1926), also known as C. M. Russell, Charlie Russell, and "Kid" Russell, was an artist of the Old American West. Russell created more than 2,000 paintings of cowboys, Indians, and landscapes set in the Western United States and in Alberta, Canada, in addition to bronze sculptures. When he died in 1926, he had painted some 1,100 watercolors, a vast majority of them depictions of a historic time and place that endure in a timeless present.
