- Lot Description
Frederic Remington (American, 1861-1909). "Benighted for a Dry Camp" Artist's Proof. 1912. Matted with the original certificate showing the Remington designation and dated 1912, a six color artist proof by Western artist Frederic Remington depicting a pioneer standing before his two-horse drawn cart on the open frontier and raising his left hand in a dramatic salute. The image is signed in the plate in red at the lower left. Size: 12.25" W x 8.375" H (31.1 cm x 21.3 cm); 21.625" W x 17.75" H (54.9 cm x 45.1 cm) framed.
According to the Sid Richardson Museum's description of the Remington painting that inspired this artist's proof entitled "The Dry Camp" (1907) featuring the same composition, "By 1907, light—early morning, midday glare, moonlight, firelight—had become Remington's obsession as a painter. The Dry Camp is an attempt to capture the intense light at day's end as the setting sun bathes the land in an unreal, ruddy glow. The dramatic light sets the stage for the theatrical pose of a pioneer with his outfit caught at nightfall, short of water in a parched country. He could be an actor upon a spotlit stage, his shadow projected against the props of horse and wagon, which cast their own shadows on the desert backdrop. Having removed a broad-brimmed hat that would have done the trick, the man shades his eyes with a hand, and standing front and center, stares back at the audience. With its pervasive sense of psychological isolation, The Dry Camp also could be seen to represent Everyman at the sunset of life confronting mortality."
