Kokoelma: Wild West

The "Wild West" refers to the period of American history, primarily during the late 19th century, when the western frontier was being explored and settled. This era is often characterized by its rugged landscapes, adventurous pioneers, indigenous cultures, cowboys, and lawmen. Art depicting the Wild West often showcases iconic scenes such as cattle drives, shootouts, Native American life, and the vast, untamed beauty of the American wilderness. Renowned artists like Frederic Remington and Charles Marion Russell captured the spirit of the frontier with dynamic and dramatic portrayals of life during this time. The Wild West remains an enduring symbol of American history and mythology, representing freedom, struggle, and the spirit of adventure.
