Marks and Inscriptions

<p>Renowned as an iconic figure in early 20th-century American art for his portrayals of the American West, Charles M. Russell&rsquo;s (1864-1926) masterworks and ephemera form a significant part of the Gilcrease collection. Examples of Charles M. Russell&rsquo;s mature painting style are enriched by Gilcrease Museum&rsquo;s equally important collection of the artist&rsquo;s bronze sculptures, sketches, preparatory drawings, illustrated letters, and personal belongings. In addition to Russell&rsquo;s acclaim as a painter and sculptor he is also considered a noteworthy humorist across different media.</p>
