The Buffalo Signal ☴ Remington ☳ Canvas
The Buffalo Signal (1900) by Frederic Remington, also known as If Skulls Could Speak, depicts an Indian buffalo scout on horseback signaling his tribesmen. The horse rears in alarm as he has been pulled to an abrupt halt to wave the buffalo robe overhead. A bleached buffalo skull can be seen on the ground. In Remington's earlier work, Native Americans often appeared as the enemy. Around 1900 his depictions took on a more sympathetic view. Historian Brian W. Dippie wrote, "With the Indian wars over, Remington discovered that he admired the vanquished almost as much as the victors. In defeat, they attained a certain 'nobility of purpose,' and a measure of respect, even sympathy, followed on that recognition. Indians figured more prominently in his later paintings than soldiers. Defeated, they were the story."

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.
