Frederic Remington

“There is nothing more mysterious than a horse.”

“A cavalryman always looks after his horse first and himself second.”

“The West is no longer. The railroad has ruined it.”

“I knew the wild riders and the vacant land were about to vanish forever... and the more I considered the subject, the bigger the forever loomed.”

“Art is a she-devil of a mistress, and if a man has a genius for painting, he is cursed.”

“Jews, Injuns, and Chinamen are pests, and should be extinguished.”

“Outdoor life, that is the thing.”

“I am a soldier in my own way.”

“The artist must know the manner of men he is to represent.”

“My oils will all be signed 'Frederic Remington' - never 'Frederic S. Remington'.”

“I paint for the varnish.”

“Big art is a process of elimination.”

“I have always had a great respect for the law, and the greatest contempt for the law enforcement.”

“Even in my sleep I have a vision of color.”
