Synopsis

Cowboy Art is a uniquely American genre that has its origins in the work of the two great nineteenth century illustrators of the Wild West, Charles Russell and Frederick Remington. In recent years, it has attracted fresh interest and a whole new generation of Cowboy artists has emerged. Shot on location in Texas and New Mexico, this programme traces the history of representations of the Wild West in art, exploring what it is that makes cowboys and indians so enduringly popular.
