The Fall of the Cowboy

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."

Without A Frame

Ready to Hang Canvas

Canvas prints, or wrapped canvas, are hand-stretched over solid wood like the base of traditional painting. Canvases come with black backboard and hanging wire installed, ready to hang on your wall — without a frame.

Stretched canvas combines a classic medium with a modern finish, an ideal way to present artwork for display.

With a Frame

Canvas Float Frame

We offer modern frames intended to complement any art. Float frames feature a visible gap ("float") between the frame and canvas. No glass/glazing is used - canvases have a mildly reflective satin finish.
