- Summary
- A uniquely American genre, "cowboy art" originated with two 19th-century illustrators of the "wild West," Charles Russell and Frederic Remington. Their paintings and drawings romanticized the American frontier and mythicized the cowboys and Indians. After fifty years of obscurity, cowboy art is enjoying a newly-found popularity. This documentary profiles three artists who live and work in the American Southwest. Painter Gary Snidow portrays the gritty realities of the contemporary cowboy lifestyle as practiced in the Texas panhandle. Sculptor Joe Beeler fashions bronzes based on his observations of Arizona life. Gary Niblett paints historical scenes of Pueblo Indian culture in New Mexico. All three men belong to Cowboy Artists of America, an organization dedicated to the sponsorship and dissemination of the art of the West.
