Frederick Remington, 1861-1909, devoted himself to recording
with great
care and enthusiasm the colourful and exciting saga of the American
frontier.
His important role in American art was well summarized by Theodore
Roosevelt:
“The soldier, cowboy and rancher, the Indian, the horse and cattle of
the
plains will live in his pictures, I verily believe, for all time.” A
set
of 10 icons.
Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) Renoir’s paintings present a
vision
of a forgotten world, full of sparkling colour and light. Renoir was
undoubtedly
one of the most prolific artists ever with about 6000 paintings
completed
during the 60 years he was active as an artist. A set of 12 icons.
Norman Rockwell’s paintings continue to hold a powerful and
emotional
appeal for young and old alike. Every generation needs a Rockwell to
remind
them that there is still hope and faith. A set of 16 icons.
Vincent Van Gogh, 1853-1890, generally considered the greatest
Dutch
painter after Rembrandt, sold only one painting during his lifetime and
was little known to the art world at the time of his death. His stormy
and dramatic life and his unswerving devotion to his ideals have made
him
one of the great cultural heroes of modern times. A set of 8 icons.
