Charles M. Russell: A Catalogue Raisonne

Art Book 2008
By B. Byron Price

Charles M. Russell is our most beloved artist of the American West. Through his paintings, sketches, sculpture, illustrated letters, and storytelling, he left an unequalled legacy of images and memories of the Old West. This beautiful volume is the first comprehensive description and documentation of Russell's works.

Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 color and black-and-white reproductions of Russell's greatest works, the book features essays by Russell experts and scholars who address important aspects of the artist's life and career. The book also contains a special code which allows access to www.russellraisonne.com, a website which features a complete catalogue of the several thousand works Russell created and signed during his lifetime. Montana's Cowboy Artist was as prolific as he was talented, and the catalogue entries provide detailed descriptions of each work's size, medium, date, provenance, and publication and exhibition history.
