The Western Art of Frederic Remington
 Opening the Wild West of North America

.../cont. from page 1.
Although world-famous for his depictions of life in the American West, Remington only visited the region briefly several months at a time. He was able to capture images of the western United States before the area was considered closed by virtue of the subduing of the wilder elements and the arrival of civilization that ended the frontier lifestyle.

In 1898 Remington became a war correspendent/illustrator for the Spanish-American War, providing illustrations for William Randolph Hearst. He witnessed the assault on San J uan Hill by American forces, including those led by Theodore Roosevelt.

Frederic Remington died after an emergency appendectomy led to peritonitis. His extreme obesity possibly led to his abdominal problems. He was often self-conscious about his appearance and he felt that he could heal his pain with his work.
