The Life and Legacy of Frederic Remington

Frederic Sackrider Remington was born on October 4, 1861, in Canton, New York, the only child of Seth Pierre Remington and Clarissa Bascom Sackrider. His father, a Civil War colonel, encouraged discipline and patriotism, while his mother nurtured his artistic inclination. He studied briefly at Yale School of Fine Arts and the Art Students League in New York, though his restless nature soon led him westward, where he found inspiration in the open plains, soldiers, cowboys, and Indigenous peoples of the American frontier. In 1884, he married Eva Caten, who remained his lifelong companion. Remington died suddenly on December 26, 1909, in Ridgefield, Connecticut, after complications from an appendectomy, leaving behind a body of work that captured the spirit and mythos of the American West. His deep empathy for his subjects is evident in every Frederic Remington Sculpture, transforming narrative illustration into enduring bronze form.

Creation and Limited Edition

The Indian Bronze Warrior was cast in the United States in the early 20th century. Each piece of this bronze Native American sculpture bears the original signature “F. Remington”. The sculpture reveals Remington’s mastery of form — muscular tension, precise anatomical study, and emotional realism blend seamlessly. The surface, textured by the artist’s distinctive modeling, catches light dynamically, accentuating strength and vulnerability alike. The Iroquois warrior, with his tightly bound hair and commanding gaze, represents not just a historical figure but a universal archetype of courage and identity. This Indian Sculpture embodies Remington’s fascination with indigenous strength and the spiritual connection between man and nature.

Symbolism and Presence

The spear in the warrior’s hand serves as both weapon and emblem — of vigilance, protection, and lineage. His partially draped torso conveys resilience, while his forward stance suggests defiance in the face of adversity. As a Frederic Remington Bronze, the figure’s realism goes beyond mere depiction; it expresses the living pulse of a people and their enduring traditions. The bronze patina, dark and reflective, emphasizes the play of light and shadow, enhancing the sculpture’s emotive power. Each contour tells a story of Remington’s sensitivity to gesture and expression. Among collectors of Western bronzes, this Indian Statue remains a pinnacle of noble restraint and sculptural vitality.
