Remington, Frederic

American painter, sculptor, and writer, born in Canton, New York, and educated at the Art Students League, New York City. Frederic Remington is famous for the lively scenes, in paint and in bronze, of the Old West that form the subject matter of most of his works. In the Spanish-American War he served as a war correspondent and artist. Among his oil paintings are The Outlier (1909, Brooklyn Museum, New York City) and Cavalry Charge on the Southern Plains (1907, Metropolitan Museum, New York City). Frederic Remington pictured life in the American West in so lively and heroic a manner that his image of the 'Wild West' imposed itself on the world and provided the base for Hollywood's subsequent development of it.
