;
Remington
attempted
to
portray
people
and
events
in as
natural
and
realistic
a
manner
as he
knew
how. He
traveled
to the
western
parts
of the
American
continent
to
paint
and
sculpt
images
from that
region
. He
studied
his
subject
with a
close
eye
and
paid
great
attention
to
details
. In
1895
he
began
exploring
the
possibilities
of
expressing
his
art
in
bronze
. He had a
facination
with
movement
and
form
,
which
led
him to
achieve
a
huge
success
.
Until
his
death
,
Remington
completed
about
two
bronzes
a
year
. This
sculpture
is
a
reproduction
of an
original
sculpture
by
Remington
.
