BOONE PICKENS COLLECTION CHRISTIE’S NEW YORK | OCTOBER 28, 2020 “All history is a resource from which to draw wisdom. The history of the West is particularly rich in wisdom because of the strength of the individuals who lived it. They have given us an unsurpassed legacy of human values founded on such basics as morality, truth, duty, honor and country. I have collected Western art with a hope that it will help preserve these values for successful living and perpetuate them for future generations.” – T.

  • WESTERN ART GALLERY the Brinton Museum Is Located on the Historic Quarter Circle a Ranch in the Foothills of the Bighorn Mountains
    WESTERN ART GALLERY The Brinton Museum is located on the historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Bradford Brinton purchased the ranch headquarters in 1923 from the Scotsman William Moncreiffe and used the Ranch House at the Quarter Circle A as a vacation home, spending several months each year in Big Horn. An avid collector of fine art, American Indian artifacts, firearms, and books, Bradford Brinton filled his home with fine and beautiful items. He was personal friends with many artists, such as Ed Borein, Hans Kleiber and Bill Gol- lings, whose art decorated the house. He also collected works by Frederic Re- mington, Charles M. Russell and Winold Reiss. Several of these important works of art are now on exhibit in The Brinton’s Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building in the Ted and Katie Meredith Western Gallery of Art. Bradford and his sister, Helen Brinton, left an enduring legacy of the golden era of an early 20th Century gentleman’s working ranch. The Wild West had been tamed, the vast rangelands fenced, and motorized vehicles were replacing horses. Americans were clinging to the images of hardy cowboys, noble Indians, and untamed land filled with birds and wild beasts. Bradford and Helen Brinton have helped preserve the feel- ing of the West at that time for all of us to enjoy today. Above: Bradford Brinton and friends riding the Buffalo Bill stage coach, The Brinton Museum Archives Right: Bradford Brinton on his Palomino horse, Pal; the Quarter Circle A Ranch Post; and thoroughbreds on the Brinton Barn grounds, 2015 John Mix Stanley was an artist-explorer known for his landscapes, American In- dian portraits and scenes of tribal life in the American West.

  • PIL Art Tour
    Prepared by Nancy Barthelemy, Archivist The Peabody Institute Library was created with the 1852 donation from native son, George Peabody (1795-1869). Since that time, art has been an integral part of its history. When Eliza Sutton (1806-1889) donated the funds for the Eben Dale Sutton Reference Room to be added in 1869, she paved the way for yet more art to be enjoyed by the citizens of Peabody and beyond. In 2011, the first floor of the Library was renovated. The historic colors chosen for the heart of the Library were based on the palette from the Eben Dale Sutton Room, which now houses the Library’s Archives. The art on display today is as eclectic as the Library’s history. Much of it reflects George Peabody’s influence. Other donations came from Peabody residents and Library trustees. All reflect the belief that art is— and shall remain—an essential facet of our lives. Within our Library are the works of: John James Audubon Abel Nichols Charles Osgood John Jabez Edwin Mayall Aed Arnoult Emile Gruppe Frederick Arnaud Tilt John Edward Jones Thomas Ball Edwin Forbes Frederic Remington George Catlin To left and right: Images re-created in front foyer Upon entering the Library through the front door, the first work of art on view are the stencils located in the foyer in the upper left and right-hand corners of the doorway leading into the first floor lobby. During the first floor renovation in 2011, ceiling stencils used over a century before were found in what is the present day Assistant Director’s Office.

Dippie At tlie l)eginning of tlie new millenniLini, it is sate to look back and say that two artists bom in the nineteenth century are most responsible for die picaires of tlie Old West people still carry in their heads. That botli men have been dead for three-quarters of a cenairy now does not diminish their influence. They are, in the mind of the public, inextrical^ly linked to the American cowboy, and one of them personifies tlie type. In an essay published in 1895, Frederic Remington (1861-1909) remarked, "Witli me cowboys are what genis :inci porcelains are to some others,"' This commercial calculation was understandable. Remington, who for several years had been providing magazines with copy he could illustrate (since his rate as an illustrator exceeded that as a writer), was noticing if not a professional, and the American West was his lucrative staple. As the preeminent western illustrator of the day. he had shaped the public's perception of frontier "types," including the cowboy, when in 1888 he illustrated a series of articles recoLinting Theodore Roosevelt's ranching experiences in Dakota ) diaries M.
