Charles Russell: Masterworks from the Petrie Collection

On view through September 6, 2009

Explore the career of Western American master Charles M. Russell in this miniature retrospective. Enjoy oil paintings from every phase of Russell’s career, beautiful watercolors that exemplify his astonishing skill in that medium, and bronze sculptures depicting cowboys and their horses in action. 

The works in this exhibition are selected from the Petrie Collection, which includes paintings, drawings, watercolors, bronzes, and illustrated letters spanning Russell's entire creative life—from boyhood until his death in 1926.
