Charles M. Russell by Frederic G. Renner — 1974 Revised Edition, Amon Carter Museum of Western Art

A richly illustrated volume chronicling the art of Charles Marion Russell (1864–1926), Charles M. Russell by Frederic G. Renner was published in 1974 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc., in association with the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art, Fort Worth. This revised edition documents Russell’s paintings, drawings, and sculpture from the museum’s renowned collection, accompanied by detailed scholarly commentary. Designed by Fridolf Johnson, the book features over 140 reproductions, including approximately 80 color plates showcasing Russell’s vivid portrayals of the American West.

Renner—one of the foremost Russell scholars—compiled this catalogue as both a visual survey and academic reference, reflecting decades of research and the museum’s deep connection to Western American art. The Amon Carter Museum, founded to preserve the legacy of artists such as Russell and Frederic Remington, remains one of the world’s leading institutions in the field.
