- Lot Description
John Hampton (1918-2000) Stay With Him! 9" x 7" watercolor Signed lower left, CA, dated 1981 lower right Verso: Titled and signed. $800-1,200 Provenance: Private Collection, MT. The bucking bronco is an iconic subject in Western art, symbolizing the rugged spirit, resilience, and freedom of the American West. Often depicted with a cowboy struggling to stay atop a wildly bucking horse, this image captures the raw energy and untamed nature of both the animal and the landscape. The bronc represents the challenges of frontier life, where man and beast must contend with each other and the unforgiving wilderness. Artists like Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington popularized this theme, using dynamic brushwork and vivid detail to convey motion and struggle. The bucking bronc has since become a cultural emblem of the West, celebrating the courage, skill, and determination of cowboys while evoking nostalgia for a time when the American frontier was vast and untamed. This imagery continues to resonate, appearing in rodeo posters, sculptures, and paintings, reflecting the enduring legacy of Western heritage and values.Excellent condition.
