SUMMARY:Lecture | A Misdeal and the Movies: Frederic Remington, John Ford, and the Birth of the Cinematic West
DESCRIPTION:Explore the crossroads of Western art and early cinema in this engaging lecture presented by Sid Richardson Museum Director and exhibition curator Scott Winterrowd. Drawing from the museum’s current exhibition, The Cinematic West: The Art That Made the Movies, the talk traces the fascinating history of Frederic Remington’s painting A Misdeal—from its appearance in John Ford’s 1918 silent Western film to its place in the private collections of Hollywood legends Douglas Fairbanks and Hal Wallis.
The lecture will also delve into a broader look at how Remington’s artworks were featured in a group of early silent films, helping to shape the visual vocabulary of the Western genre in its formative years. Through these examples, Winterrowd reveals the critical role artists like Remington played in crafting the mythic imagery that inspired filmmakers such as John Ford and laid the groundwork for generations of Western storytelling on screen.
