American West Art Prints
Cowboys, cavalry, chiefs and the open plains
American West art prints: paintings, illustrations and photographs of the American frontier and Native American life from the 1830s to the 1930s. Early works include George Catlin's portraits of Plains chiefs, Alfred Jacob Miller's fur-trade scenes, Seth Eastman's Dakota and Ojibwe villages and John Mix Stanley's prairie scenes. Albert Bierstadt, Thomas Moran, Thomas Hill and William Keith painted the Rocky Mountains, Yosemite and Yellowstone. Cowboy and cavalry art comes from Frederic Remington, Charles M. Russell, Charles Schreyvogel, Edward Borein and Frank Tenney Johnson, with desert paintings by Maynard Dixon, photographs by Edward S. Curtis and Hiroshi Yoshida's woodblock prints of El Capitan and the Grand Canyon.
The wide mountain and prairie views suit living rooms and offices, above a sofa or desk; the portraits and photographs work in hallways and studies. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.

Two Native American riders come towards us along a rocky trail between towering canyon walls at night. The leader, in a white shirt and white headband, sits a cream horse with a white blaze and a red saddle blanket; behind him a second rider in a headband carries a rifle on a bay. Moonlight catches the pale horse, the trail and the rock faces, while the sky between the cliffs is a deep teal pricked with stars. Signed and dated 1928 lower left.
Frank Tenney Johnson (1874–1939) was an American painter and illustrator of the West, known for night scenes lit only by moonlight and starlight. Born on a farm in Pottawattamie County, Iowa, he studied at the Milwaukee School of Art and, from 1895, at the Art Students League of New York under John Henry Twachtman. From 1904 to 1920 he worked mainly as an illustrator for Field & Stream while travelling west for material; in 1912 he sketched with Charles M. Russell on the Blackfoot Reservation in Montana. In 1920 he moved to Alhambra, California, and from 1931 kept a studio at Cody, Wyoming, outside Yellowstone. His work is held by the Buffalo Bill Center of the West and the Gilcrease Museum.
