SUMMARY:Docent-led Public Tour of The Sporting Life: Selections from the Remington Arms Art Collection
DESCRIPTION:Highlight Tour\nSunday\, October 29\n2 p.m.\, Meet in the Main Lobby\nFree to Museum members/ Included in general admission for non-members \nBoasting over 400 paintings dating from roughly 100 years ago to the present\, Remington’s holdings include works by such respected early 20th century artists as N.C. Wyeth\, Frank Xavier Leyendecker\, Lynn Bogue Hunt and William Harnden Foster\, as well as paintings by contemporary masters Tom Beecham\, Larry Duke and the legendary Bob Kuhn (the man generally acknowledged to be the greatest animal painter of the last half-century). \nThe paintings were commissioned to illustrate posters\, prints\, calendars and other advertising vehicles for The Remington Arms Company\, America’s oldest gun maker. Founded in 1816 by Eliphalet Remington in Ilion\, New York\, as E. Remington and Sons\, it remains the largest American producer of shotguns and rifles. The paintings that were created for the company over the past century typically depicted a sportsman using a Remington firearm or ammunition\, but often in an understated way. The underlying idea was that the image through the drama\, excitement and romantic appeal of its narrative\, would excite the imaginations of sportsmen and hunters alike. \nThe superiority of Remington’s products was implied\, with the subtext being that using Remington would make you a better shot and\, in effect\, a better hunter. The more effective an artist was at creating images that triggered these emotional responses\, the more successfully the message was conveyed. \nOrganized by the Huntsville Museum of Art\, The Sporting Life includes approximately 75 original works and is the first major museum exhibition curated from the Remington Arms Collection in over 40 years.
