Charlie Russell and Friends

By Peter H. Hassrick, Thomas Brent Smith, Brian W. Dippie, Mark Andrew White

Although he was painfully reserved among strangers, the artist Charles M. Russell had a knack for making lifelong friends. This book is devoted to one group among Russell’s diverse tribe of comrades: his fellow artist. Five distinguished scholars consider the painters and illustrators with whom Russell associated, gauging the contributions of some to his artistic progress and assessing the debt owed by others to his work, with particular attention to Russell’s friendships with his protégé Joe De Yong, sporting artist Philip Goodwin, and “kindred spirit” Maynard Dixon, famed interpreter of the Southwest.
