CM Russell & Frederic Remington, Books
Featured in this lot are a pair of books depicting the art of C. M. Russell and Frederic Remington, internationally acclaimed Western artists. "C. M. Russell, The Mackay Collection", 1979, in a softcover booklet style, features 28 pages of the artist's work located in the Mackay Gallery of Russell Art at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana. The oils, watercolours, bronzes and pen & ink drawings depict but a fraction of Russell's impressive creations. "Remington's Frontier Sketches", a 1969 red cloth bound gilt titled reprint of the original 1898 edition, was originally published at about the pinnacle of his career and highlighting some of his best works at that time, contains 15 monochrome full-page plates with captions. Like Russell, Remington was a prolific and renowned artist whose art, like Russell's, continues to be displayed in public and private galleries worldwide.
The books are in good overall condition, slight marring noted to the covers, minimal age tanning. Respective measurements are 8.5"W x 11"L, 9.25"W x 12"L
