Frederic Remington 1898

Remington went to Cuba in 1898 to cover the Spanish-American War for the New York Journal. Despite Remington's long record of painting Western military troops and officers, the artist had never seen battle. He was sickened by what he saw of war, the "broken spirits, bloody bodies, hopeless, helpless suffering'.' After this experience, Remington's love affair with the cavalry was over.
