Charge of the Rough Riders by Frederic Remington

The
Museum of the Big Bend brings “Treasures from
The Frederic Remington Art Museum” to West Texas. Frederic Remington is
considered the most influential and important artist to portray the
American West. Works from the Remington Museum rarely leave their home
in Ogdensburg, New York. And....it is finally open!
Admission is free.
Donations are always welcomed.

This historic exhibit will display a large number of
Remington’s best known works from
September 20th through December 8th.
The iconic bronze,
The Broncho Buster, and the never-before toured painting,
The Charge of the Rough Riders,
are but two of the pieces in the exhibit. Brought to the museum through
the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mallory and The Holland Hotel,
the exhibit will contain more than twenty-two works that explore the
diversity of the media and styles that Remington used in his pursuit of
creating fine art while chronicling the West.
