專家說明


The present work is a lifetime cast of Frederic Remington’s The Broncho Buster, one of the most iconic artworks of the American frontier. The bronze sculpture of a cowboy breaking in a wild horse was an immediate success, symbolizing all that was triumphant and heroic of the West. The artist observed, “my oils will all get old and watery...my watercolors will fade--but I am to endure in bronze...I am doing a cowboy on a bucking bronco and I am going to rattle down through the ages.” (as quoted in P. Hassrick, Frederic Remington: The Masterworks, New York, 1988, p. 182)
