Painting the Night: A Study of Remington's Nocturnes [F-25-33]

Frederic Remington is best known for his dynamic depictions of the American West, but in the final years of his life he turned his gaze inward. This walking symposium explores a quieter, lesser-known side of the artist through his atmospheric nocturnes. With moonlit snow, flickering campfires, and deep shadows, these works reveal Remington's evolving artistic vision and his fascination with light, solitude, and mood.

Julie Pratt has a BFA in Painting from Syracuse University with a background in art history, art education, and studio arts. She has worked at the Remington Museum for eight years and currently serves as its Education Manager.
