]]> This ambitious and romanticized composition captures a defining moment in American history: the Lewis and Clark Expedition, commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to chart a route to the Pacific Ocean through the newly acquired western territories. The painting centers on meticulously rendered figures–Lewis, Clark, Seaman (?), Charbonneau, Sacajawea, and her brother–each embodying the mythos surrounding the legendary journey.

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