The Fall of the Cowboy ☰ Remington ☶ Art Print
The Fall of the Cowboy (1895) by Frederic Remington depicts two cowboys at the gate of a barbed wire fence, a ranching technology that beginning in the 1870s signaled the end of cowboy life. It divides the painting in half, symbolically fencing in the cowboys. At the suggestion of Remington, Owen Wister wrote "The Evolution of the Cow-Puncher" for Harper's Monthly in 1895, lamenting the end of the open range. Accompanying it were several illustrations by Remington, including this painting. Wister wrote, "The cow-puncher took wild pleasure in existing. No soldier of fortune ever adventured with bolder carelessness, no fiercer blood ever stained a border ... he has been dispersed, as the elk, as the buffalo, as all wild animals most inevitably will be dispersed ... all this may be summed up in the word Progress."

Art prints are created from a giclée print on archival heavyweight paper that can be mounted in a frame. Different paper finishes allow you to customize the appearance: smooth paper maintains detail and color; textured paper slightly softens color with a traditional paper finish; and resin coated paper slightly deepens color adding a semi-gloss finish. Framed prints do not come with protective glass / glazing, to showcase the paper and reduce light reflection (it is available upon request).
