VG (One corner slightly bent, otherwise nice. ) Black & color illus. wraps, French flaps, 96 pp, profuse color and BW illustrations. From the catalog: This sixth edition of Western Passages focuses on sculpture--an often overloked, neglected, and misunderstood form of artistic expression. Sculpture has all too often taken a backseat to painting, and this is equally true for western American art. Most everyone recognizes Frederic Remington's iconic bronze "The Broncho Buster." nut beyond this and a few other examples the familiarity begins to wane. However, when one surveys the quality and professionalism of sculptors working in western themes during late 1800's and early 1900's, the output is astounding. During this period in American art, sculpture could be considered the more popular medium given the significance and frequency of public commissions and the mass appeal of smaller bronzes.
