FREDERIC REMINGTON (American 1861-1909)
A Mexican Buccaro - In Texas, circa 1890
Oil on canvas
21-1/2 x 17-1/2 inches (54.6 x 44.4 cm)
Signed lower left: Frederic Remington

Provenance:
Newhouse Galleries (New York);
Mr. And Mrs. F. Howard Walsh (Fort Worth, Texas);
Walsh Family Art Trust (Fort Worth, Texas)

Literature:
Harby, Lee C. "Texan Types And Contrasts", Harper's New Monthly Magazine (vol. 81, issue 482, July 1980, p. 241)

In 1881, Frederic Remington set off for the vast territories of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and veered north to Montana and the Dakotas armed with the goal of recording the people he encountered there as well as a vanishing way of life. His subsequent work as an illustrator for Harper's New Monthly Magazine depended upon this initial trove of highly detailed imagery, and in 1885 he was sent back West by the magazine editors to record Native American conflicts and capture in paint a feeling for life in the southwest. Within a decade, Remington became the dean of Western illustrators, just as the "Wild West" was vanishing forever.

Painted circa 1890 The Mexican Buccaro - in Texas is an outstanding example of Remington's illustration style, which captured the imagination of the reading public. This painting was featured in the July 1890 issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, and accompanied an article entitled "Texan Types and Contrasts" by Lee C. Harby. The text sketched a romanticized portrait of the Mexican life in Texas, and waxed poetic on subjects ranging from spicy and flavorful Mexican foods to the dignified and passionate demeanors of the Mexican people. While Harby acknowledged that numerous nationalities contributed to the colorful tableaux of Texan life, all of Remington's illustrations, by contrast, depict only Mexicans. Remington showed them engaged in a range of activities, which was the primary focus of the article.

Bessie Heard Trust

William Herbert "Buck" Dunton was a precocious illustrator who left school at the age of sixteen to pursue his art full time. His illustrations appeared in books and magazines such as Scribner's, Collier's and Harper's Weekly, among others. The proceeds from these ventures funded his summer trips West, beginning in Montana in 1896. In fact, these summer excursions were inspired as much by his love of the outdoors as for his need for fresh ideas for the Western imagery his new profession required of him.

Dunton attended the Cowles Art School in Boston and the Art Students League in New York City, where he studied under Joseph de Camp and Ernest Blumenschein. It was Blumenschein who first suggested Taos to Dunton, and the latter permanently relocated there in 1912. Together with Oscar Berninghaus, E. Irving Couse, William Herbert "Buck" Dunton, Bert G. Phillips and Joseph H. Sharp, Blumenschein founded the Taos Society of Artists in 1915. Their mission was to sell paintings depicting the people and environs that had captured their imaginations, although the lack of local galleries resulted in a number of traveling exhibitions, which in the end brought their work to a wider public.

In 1922 Dunton left the Taos Society of Artists to pursue an independent career. Giving full rein to his nostalgia for the golden age of the West and the vanishing frontier, Dunton captured nature and cowboys with romance and sensitivity by harnessing a powerful sense of two-dimensiona

On verso: original check from Lawrence Slaback endorsed by Joseph Henry Sharp

Provenance:
Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Slaback, purchased directly from artist on October 4, 1932;
Hazel Risselman, inherited from Slaybacks;
Descended in family to Jim Risselman

Joseph Henry Sharp, the father of the Taos art colony, was born in Bridgeport, Ohio, and saw his first Native Americans near Wheeling, West Virginia, just across the Ohio River. He spent his teenage years in Cincinnati, where he studied art at the McMicken School of Design and the Cincinnati Art Academy. Over the course of the 1880s and early 1890s Sharp continued his studies in Munich, Antwerp and Paris. From 1892 to 1902 he taught life drawing and portraiture at the Cincinnati Art Academy. During this period he often ventured west to paint American Indians.

Sharp made trips to Taos, New Mexico, in 1883 and 1893. From 1902 to 1909, he spent summers in Taos and winters at Crow Agency in Montana. In 1910 he settled permanently in Taos. In the 1930s Sharp traveled to China and Hawaii, and in later years he spent winters in Pasadena, California. Sharp was a founding member of the Taos Society of Artists and received numerous prizes, including a silver medal at the Pan American Exposition of 1901 and a gold medal at the Panama-Pacific Exposition of 1915.

Important groups of Sharp's paintings are preserved in the collections of the Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley; the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio; the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.; the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and the Stark Museum of Art in Orange, Texas.

Sharp painted numerous landscapes and outdoor studies in Taos. He adapted a shepherd's wagon as a studio-on-wh
