Description
"Consider This" Ghost Stories
This unfinished work is a fascinating look into how Remington constructed his paintings. Looking at it in person allows you to see how he sketched out the figures and built up his layers of paint, which is very rare!
It is also interesting to note that the title Ghost Stories was not given by the artist himself, but rather named after his passing. The title gives strong suggestions as to what these men may be discussing but knowing that the artist didn't name it that kind of changes things a bit, don't you think? What was he going to name it? What were his intentions for this piece? Why is it unfinished? We just simply don't know but it makes for an interesting conversation!
