The name was often spelled as Fredrick Remington, Frederick Remington, Fredric Remington, Frederik Remington.

Fredric Remington was born in Canton, New York October 4, 1861. He was brought up during the Civil War, his boyhood passions consisted of riding, boating, fishing, hunting, the military and the great outdoors. During school he enjoyed sketching and doodling different objects especially soldiers in military uniforms.

Remington artist is an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West. He likes reading about the drama literature on life of riding shepherds and has learned a lot about the habit of life, customs, hunting activities and war condition of the nomadic nation Indian; furthermore, he is determined to become a painter on the nomadic life. In early Remington painting of native Americans, the images of U.S. cavalry and American cowboy have almost struck deep roots in the hearts of people. Remington is good at painting horses in motion. In his later years, he requested to engrave the words “He knows horses” on his gravestone. So, oil painting lovers are very interested in his biography, and reproductions of art Remington for sale in gallery are prevalent. Famous Remington paintings supplies on canvas include A Dash for the Timber, The Outlier, Indian Warfare and The Stampede.

His subsequent bronzes, such as "Comin' Through the Rye" (1902, Metropolitan Museum), in which four cowhands on horseback charge at the observer in glee, are daring for their technical skill in suspending large figures on slim supports, in this case on the hooves of the horses. Among the books Frederic Remington wrote and illustrated are "Pony Tracks" (1895), "Crooked Trails" (1898), and "The Way of an Indian" (1906). He died in 1909, having produced nearly three thousand Remington oil paintings of 19th century American West and images of cowboys, American Indians, and the U. S. Cavalry, Old American West, as well as native American paintings.

As a member of a prominent family, Remington was expected to graduate from college, prepared for a career in business, but spent only a year and a half at Yale University playing football and studying art. After his father's death, he traveled to Montana in 1881, and experienced his first impression of the West. In 1883, he moved to Kansas where Remington the artist made an unsuccessful attempt at sheep ranching. The year he spent there was the only time he actually made the West his home, although he made many trips out West and occasionally accompanied the U. S. Cavalry on patrol along the Southwest frontier.

Major Remington pictures were tributes to the Wild West of fantasy. Native American painting was drew on the artist's experiences for their sense of place and authentic details, but on his imagination for their subject matter. His achievement was to fuse observation and imagination so seamlessly that his contemporaries assumed he had actually witnessed what he portrayed.

By 1900 Frederic Remington had returned to painting and began to experiment with impressionism. His technique evolved dramatically the last five years of his life as he rejected the crisp linear illustrator style to concentrate on mood, color and light - sunlight, moonlight, and firelight. Later Remington of native American paintings consistent with his conclusion that his West was dead. So he painted impressionistic scenes in which the West, now entirely confined to memory, was invested with a poetry and mystery the present could not touch. Frederic Remington died at the age of 48, a victim of appendicitis.
