Title: CMR's Masterpiece: 10 Stars ... Hell, 20 Stars
Product review: Fashionably insufferable elitists insist that "western art" is an oxymoron. This 1929 collection of Russell's illustrated letters reaffirms for the rest of us that western art was and is America's defining art form.Russell defined the West for those of us who came along too late for the rampant manic energy of the real thing. Russell himself lamented that his West, on the drag end of the open range, was already becoming too civil, "civilized," and sissified. He regretted that he couldn't get back to an even more liberated era when the range was ruled by Blackfeet, Lakota, Cheyenne, and Crow.
