"In the decade preceding his death, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) produced a series of paintings that took as their subject the color of night. This richly illustrated volume is the first to present all of these works -- some seventy paintings that secured for Remington the critical acclaim he so coveted. Indeed, these magnificent noctures marked an important new direction for the celebrated illustrator, wrtier, and sculptor of America's vanishing frontier." (dj) Includes extensive essays, copious notes and an appendix on the conservation practices used on these works, making this a really well-rounded book, and a splendid examination of this specialty of Remington's oeuvre.
