For your consideration this lot offers "Indians Simulating Buffalo", 1908 by Frederick Remington, a framed offset colour lithograph as featured in the 1909 Collier's Portfolio titled ‘Eight New Remington Paintings’, Copyright 1909 By P. F. Collier & Son printed on lower left and Painted By Frederic Remington on lower right. An exchange of glances is the focal point of Frederic Remington’s intriguing scene. In the background a faint wagon train appears, begging the viewer to wonder if these men are feigning bison to hunt, conceal themselves from the caravan, or slyly reconnoitering their next target. Frederic Sackrider Remington’s (1861-1909) raw reflections of the cowboy, cavalrymen, horses and Native American Indian warriors, ultimately made the 19th-century artist the greatest artist America has ever produced, the premier chronicler of the late nineteenth century American West. Remington was a brilliant painter capturing on canvas sweeping vistas, coarse and toughened figures; his works immortalizing moments of danger and conflict that defined the American West. Remington without fail remained steadfast to the life and death struggles of the individual under overwhelming forces, against all odds; the most important artist ever to record the vanishing Western frontier. Given the huge popularity of Frederic Remington's western artwork with the public, Collier's magazine began purchasing the publishing rights to Remington's work in 1901. Several years later, Collier's signed a multi-year contract with Remington to publish his works as covers, two-page centerfolds and one-page frontispieces in Collier's magazine. Collier's published Remington's images in the magazine about once a month. As Collier's had the publishing copyrights to Remington's work, it exploited those rights by creating special print portfolios of Remington's paintings that it sold to its magazine subscribers. The portfolios were heavily advertised in Collier's magazine. The prints in the 1909 portfolio are some of Remington's last and most mature artworks, as Remington died at the end of 1909.
