"Painting the West: Remington and Russell" - Peter Hassrick

Peter Hassrick is Director Emeritus of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
Hassrick's lecture is part of Hillsdale College's CCA seminar on The American West. See more from this seminar at www.hillsdale.edu/live/cca-ii...
The history of the Old West, dating roughly from the beginning of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 to the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890, was but the length of one long lifetime. The debate over how to understand America’s western expansion has already eclipsed it in time. This third CCA of the 2016-2017 academic year will consider both the history and the debate.

Charlie Russell did NOT die in Pasadena, Calf, but rather in his home in Great Falls, Montana!

It's helpful to go beyond chronological trivia. What exactly makes them "Western"? What do you mean when you say "composition"?
You need to dive into the works. How much transparency, color, is it a triangle? How are the animals different from say Degas' horses?

Talking heads are in focus...but not the art. Wrong priorities.
