6 The Episode of the Buffalo Hunt, 1895 What type of mood has the artist painted? In what part of the landscape is the action taking place? How does that effect the mood? What story does this scene tell? What do you think will happen next? How did the artist create movement?

14 The Broncho Buster, 1895 Bronze Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas “Only those who have ridden a bronco the first time it was saddled, or have lived through a railroad accident, can form any conception of the solemnity of such experiences. Few Eastern people appreciate the sky-rocket bounds, grunts, and stiff-legged striking.”

15 The Stampede, 1909, Bronze, Amon Carter Museum, Fort Worth, Texas “He is, of course, one of the most typical American artists we have ever had, and he has portrayed a most characteristic and yet vanishing type of American life. The soldier, the cowboy and rancher, the Indian, the horses and the cattle of the plains, will live in his pictures and bronzes, I verily believe, for all time.” Theodore Roosevelt, Pearson’s Magazine in 1907
