of chicago with posters one theory and found themselves in show business scouts of the prairie du large an inquisitive ground they've been promised realign heroes from a genuine last dj that was texas jack o'connor oh cowboy but he'd be appearing in person not my hip soviet full supporting cast of indians inauthentic opens and a noted dancer would provide the female interest to subpoena more laws landline and even secured the services of buffalo bill himself that barbed line with producer director stage manager and publicity age and he was also the first attraction on the program a great self promoter

ship hms this was the legend of the west and it was selling crack the success of this simple plays what persuaded buffalo bill to go into show business for himself bill cody was a handsome likable man and he knew it he had real experience of the west so why not put on a real spectacle and hit the road with the airmen then ayer then area in nineteen eighty three call the package the frontier it and made it into a circus he'd changed his publicity was incredibly sophisticated again you know

i'm intruding the finale was often a lap of honor by the old man and so chasing a herd of obliging buffalo were around the right the west that buffalo bill created it was the west that everyone wanted to believe is was the vision that entered the popular culture but the west was brought to its widest public by another more powerful medium in the circus at the world's first dramatic moving picture before nineteen oh three film in the news for documentary purposes or quick humor sketches but the great train robbery was revolutionary because it had a story it's big

first to show charlie the atlantic ocean in turn charlie had paid hard on horseback an apprentice piece of his autobiography the two men saw life in the west in much the same way and hearts films the same plain spoken straight talking and my only sentimental approach shines through they both created simple stories that told the tale no man in the west was all good or all bad it was what they stood for that was memorable it's because banks both hart acknowledges that the many artists and illustrators who had paid to the west but with charlie russell who most inspired him russell located so thrillingly honestly the weston it's dying days fb throughout the first forty years of the century the memory of the old west was kept alive as much by the illustrators as by the movies they

each barred from the other wd turner's madonna of the primaries became the iconic image of the covered wagon movie poster the new phenomenon impression was the rise of the mass circulation family magazine delivered door to door by neighborhood boys these magazines depended upon the illustrations for the new tales of the west were especially popular betraying the triumph of good over evil the very heart of the american and western garb the illustrators work was not easy the first pictures had to fit within the blocks of text and then there was the problem of deadlines john climber remember that so tired in union do more than one story a week

the magazine had to go to press a certain date they want it on the fourth of may ensure that every year on the fourth and made are you and another job so that unfortunately most of the pictures you did these illustrations were the best you could do and today he's not the best you could do you know anything about the news real quick major studio and your anger models and a couple of trump's former penn pulling old dresses at all colson hansen spoke you couldn't have think an idea he had to have it very clear in your mind and then painted these fences you people all the groups of illustrators the brandywine school was the most influential and nc wyeth perhaps the most famous

what made their work so immensely popular was the way it suggests a the story immediately slope rosalynn intellectual appreciation were quite unnecessary they captured the west the way it was a way of saying the nineteen twenties and thirties the illustrations in the motion pictures inhabit the same world each includes has recently romanticize the popular view of the west occasionally there was a hint of irony in the illustration this is norman rockwell's picture of gary cooper being made up in where cowboy movie idol one of cooper's most famous westerns was the

virginia based on the novel by owen was tr and they don't want or when the virginian told a story of a hero who takes the law and it was on hands on a gun down the villainous trumpet in my head i have that when they're going they're going to be your time to make and that the land in la i think what the worldview really to be the one hit i feel great you know we get along fine not that the neo the new violet in the new

many of the finest movies about the west were created by the director john ford board acknowledged his depth of the artists of the past he paid homage to the indian scenes of charlie russell and the action paintings of frederick remington she wore yellow ribbon released in nineteen forty nine captures the essence of the western myth a larger than life heroics set in a grand landscape he's the commissioner any messages

thanks david crazy horse the piece by piece is by john ford's wes was his own creation but at times he reproduces almost exactly the work of

frederick remington remington skating counting the night leader could have been a steel frame from the scene the fall then dan rather era and then other nineteen fifties there were few people alive who would see me always become a legend the great american myth please we

need there are stories of the old west are so much larger than life but it's sometimes hard to sort out the facts from the fiction but many western artists working today feel it's important to do so they dedicated themselves to re telling the tale of our tribe of scrupulous accuracy one of these artists is the former illustrator jon climber i think a history painting simply are not as correct as you can make them they're not worth knowing if i see a real clearly myself add hen i am positive that that's a way it was and this is where one i can paint that way but when you look at the new movie the lady clymer has

returned to the earliest experience of the frontier for many of the subjects this is his vision of the artist's george catlin the sending the misery uranus union on the shores of the country we are this would've been a wonderful and moves this for probably experience of our homeland and how soon would sell one small town along into this with the singles and this is one i think it's what i think it must have felt like for a walk along the surfer the ocean for the first time this parading tells the story of a missionary climber calls

the nurses so what meets the horrible the reason says the us men came west was this piercing episode where the white pelicans they asked that someone come to teach them about white man's got this year's worth the rendezvous it was so welcome she says the locals he's going

to point to point it is this character preservation that motivates many painters of the western seeing today somewhere out there in texas in montana and wyoming they know you can still find real cowboys man who make their living on bass brian schmidt an organization called the cowboy artists of american forces and kerrville the been some protections every so often a small army a budding artist sets off into the wild resolutely tracking down the cowboy life what job you're

right listen to this fb group says at first the sketches the essence of the scene was captured later the barn on that list the kenyan ranch they set up an impromptu studio here the many and varied versions of the scene will come to light violist in its values will come alive once more biking and ninety

seven said today that it helped him to understand more reticent to go out there and be a part of the colon the field and that's what's important and the cowboy is a kind of that is in the business work on sundays but why do they do it what brings people hundreds even thousands of miles to a barn and texas to do this they are people that work there late there are things that are absolutely necessary to do things out of the limelight things because nobody in unless they didn't listen with their intelligence and on our nation the character lash out reflected in all down to the eighties by that the character dr it's the fed did the work hours that

were that went beyond the region's unconquerable living and comparable studios as they were last in the west endured a great deal to make a statement about a larger vision i hear so many people say that the west is changing in the west it's not that it's it's not dynamic to live and i particularly like painting the people because they are very warm and genuine as they are just individuals that believe in what they do the painters of the western seen have kept alive the spirit of rugged independence the past is a treasure house for these ideas their work narrates the stories we all know well loved figures occur again and again just as the moviemakers borrowed images from remington and russell so now the panthers are scenes

from the movies all this would seem like an exercise in pure nostalgia of it weren't for the fact that the saga of the west continues to shape the dreams of a great many americans eisenhower nice today in every western town with its neighbors a grand celebration of the experience of the west a lot of fun parts yourself this is being portrayed i think they're very seriously

why not throughout the western united states the national rodeo association really creates a modern versions of buffalo bill's wild west this is the final of them oh no the prizes will be large the prestige far larger

the west becomes a theater which the show of our studios of play our founders in on festival is a longtime incumbent put on shows for the public costumes and guns are accurate only that drama has made you know this is

bad we just love doing this is something that's been last year history this is is this is that this is a drink that word every year in western history is lovingly reconstructed movie sets are re direct the result is pure show boat watching the feature westerns is no longer enough people want to watch the action y at best but despite its all become a show almost thirty characters from a thousand forgettable movies are you the buttes victory parties that they're setting up for the final shootout international stardom done as many people this is the west and it's true

nice be nice but a casual visitor that this plan might conclude that was he was only a fantasy know violent one leg but here in the late twentieth century something else remains from the history of something more significant mr hague he was fined the spirit of alaska have to dig deeper into the grassroots you have to listen to the music it is this is billy joe shaver

performing a believable still has the oldest honky tonk in texas law billy joe shaver is a real article he's known the top flight he lost a couple of fingers in a sawmill accident since then the sonnet written songs for a living as an actor the story of country and cowboy music has been the story of the west of the late twentieth century of battle between show business and reality when people come here crave is an authentic connection with the real ways that connection as the boys and shavers was appealing naturalist yes i was a

cowboy once again as big it issues and all five and dime or like me billy joe shaver is that by the estate closer to the country background of the big star name but he's written for most of the willie nelson kris kristofferson johnny cash have all recorded a song that waylon jennings recorded the whole album is to meet our needs and shaver's songs appeal to the audience because they tell

stories based on a real experience jesus we leave us some people today the west is all nostalgic others say they love the harrowing tales from america's history they enjoy the old time they relive the fire ryanair did the rodeo dance to colorado's white artist you'll relive the
