Charles M. Russell | 1864-1926
A Tribute to the Iconic American Western Artist
Charles Marion Russell (1864–1926) saw the American West change before his eyes, and he caught its essence and artistic spirit with mastery. In addition to living the dream of a true cowboy in Montana, he was also leaving behind a remarkable visual legacy that honored Western stories, Indigenous culture, vast vistas, and breathtaking wildlife images. His energy endures, even though his art is regarded as historic.
