Frederic Remington by Nancy Anderson
In the decade preceding his untimely death, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) produced a series of paintings that took as their subject the color of night. This volume presents these works - some seventy paintings that secured for Remington the critical acclaim he so coveted.
The best book about [Remington] currently in printLibrary Journal An unusually candid glimpse of an artist and his work. American Artist This handsome volume ... is a carefully researched introduction to the development of night paintings and their role as a bridge to modern art. The perceptive essays in this beautifully illustrated work demonstrate how energetically imaginative, experimental, and modern Remington became when he sought to portray the color of night.

Remington's work is rich enough to allow every generation to see him anew. Frederic Remington: The Color of Night helps us to do just that. -- Christopher Capozzola The Art Book
