Artist
The Old West attracted notable artists, such as Charles Russell and Frederick Remington, who captured not only the harsh beauty of the landscapes, but the brutality and banality of the people as well. Remington sketched and painted, and even worked in bronze sculpture. Others had more prurient tastes; well, someone had to paint those pretty ladies’ portraits hanging in virtually every saloon and casino from New Orleans to San Francisco.
Photographers might also be included in this occupation: Matthew Brady’s celebrated photographical studies of the Civil War are an excellent example, and many Western towns had photographers’ studios where cowboys, lawmen, and outlaws alike sat for portraits.
