Charles Marion Russell

Charles Marion Russell (1864-1926), also known as C. M. Russell, was an American artist known for his depictions of the American West, including cowboys, Native Americans, and landscapes. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Russell is considered one of the most famous Western artists and is known for his more than 2,000 paintings and bronze sculptures. His work is characterized by its focus on the human form and the emotions evoked by the scenes, as well as his intimate knowledge and appreciation of frontier life.

Russell's artistic journey began when he left the cowboy life behind at the age of 15 to pursue a full-time career as an artist and illustrator. He spent two years apprenticing as a horse wrangler, which provided him with firsthand experience of the life he later depicted in his art. In 1893, Russell decided to focus on painting, creating works that documented scenes of rapidly disappearing Native American culture and romantic visions of the West as it was in the days before the arrival of settlers.

Some of Russell's most famous works include "The Flathead Indian," "Lewis and Clark Meeting the Flathead Indians," and "Piegans". These paintings are celebrated for their technical skill and the artist's ability to capture the essence of his subjects and the emotions evoked by the scenes. Russell's work has been featured in various exhibitions and has been sold at auction, reflecting his enduring influence and popularity in the art world.
