As part of their major “An American Season” exhibition this summer, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents:
“The Masterworks of Charles M. Russell: A Retrospective of Paintings and Sculpture”
Charles M. “Charlie” Russell (1864-1926), was a painter and sculptor. “Self-taught, Russell began to paint early in his career as a cowboy. Later on, as a full-time artist, he provided inspiration to Hollywood´s first filmmakers… With first-hand knowledge of cowboys and outlaws, trappers and hunters, Native Americans, and Western wildlife and wilderness, Russell presents an unparalleled view of a bygone American culture, rich in authentic detail and infused with personal passion.”
