The Scout: Friends or Foes

Native Americans were among Remington’s principal subjects throughout his career. The Scout: Friends or Foes is a late example, in which the artist seems primarily interested in the subtle effects of snow seen in moonlight. Yet, he also represents the scout, a member of the Blackfoot tribe, as alert and hardy, able to withstand the arduous winter weather.

Frederic Remington (1861-1909)
Remington was born in Canton, New York. He briefly attended the Yale School of Art and the Art Students League of New York before heeding the call to "Go West." His dynamic representations of cowboys and cavalrymen, bronco busters and braves created a mythic image of the American West. Over the course of his career, he produced more than three thousand drawings and paintings, twenty-two bronze sculptures, a novel, a Broadway play, and over one hundred articles and stories.
