This publication highlights 46 bronze animal sculptures from the collection of Michael and Mary Erlanger, given to the Georgia Museum of Art. The majority of these pieces, created by such notable artists as Antoine-Louis Barye and Rembrandt Bugatti, depict the animalier style, which was popular in 19th-century France, England, and the United States. Several other 20th-century sculptors, such as Charles Marion Russell and Herbert Haseltine, are also represented in this collection. The publication includes an essay on the bronze figures from the collection, a catalogue of the exhibition, and a selected bibliography.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Images of animals in an American context occur with great originality in the art of the West. Frederick Remington's immensely popular bronze statuettes of cowboys and Indians with their horses and cattle have become, for better or worse, icons of American culture. The art of Charles Marion Russell, Remington's contemporary, falls into the same category, but eschews much of the Romantic melodrama of his compatriot in favor of a more melancholy view of the men of the West and their animals....Russell's quiet observation is, perhaps, truer to the actual spirit of the West as presents a uniquely American view.
