Cowboys Still Life

Additional Information

Provenance:
Private collection, New Mexico

Although he is not widely known in Western circles, Charles Wysocki’s works are instantly recognizable due to their flat rendering of three-dimensional forms that are compressed into lively compositions stuffed with interesting detail. His landscapes have been compared to works by Grandma Moses, the folk artist who brought life to American country scenes. This work, a rare still life by the artist, presents objects from the Old West, including a tin of tobacco, a spur, an oil lamp and a cloth pouch with a drawstring. Wysocki’s works have been reproduced in countless ways, including on calendars, puzzles and prints. Before his death in 2002, Wysocki was named one of the top 25 best-selling artists in the country.
