GILLETTE, Wyo. — The Rockpile Museum will welcome traveling art exhibition “Dramatic Moments: Frederic Remington’s Early Engravings, 1882–1893” on Feb. 3.

The exhibition features an outstanding collection of large-size vintage engravings by Frederic Remington. These are the images that launched Remington’s illustration career and provided the platform that would help shape him into one of the West’s most famous fine art painters. The images not only document Remington’s rise to prominence and wealth, but also chronicle the events in the closing decades of the western frontier era.

This extensive body of Frederic Remington’s early art highlights the height of the wood-block engraving art form. Works such as “The Last Lull in the Fight” featured in the exhibit demonstrate Remington’s creative imagination and won him the silver medal at the Paris International Exposition.

Featuring 38 engravings illuminating the Western frontier life from Canada to Mexico, along with a collection of Rockpile Museum’s own historic artifacts, “Dramatic Moments” will be on display at the Rockpile Museum beginning Feb. 3 and ending in late September.
