{{Main|Western American Art}}

A number of visual artists focused their work on representations of the American Old West. American West-oriented art is sometimes referred to as "Western Art" by Americans. This relatively new category of art includes paintings, sculptures, and sometimes Native American crafts. Initially, subjects included exploration of the Western states and cowboy themes. [[Frederic Remington]] and [[Charles M. Russell]] are two artists who captured the "Wild West" in paintings and sculpture.<ref>{{cite news|author=Buscombe, Edward |title=Painting the Legend: Frederic Remington and the Western|work=Cinema Journal|date=1984|pages= 12–27}}</ref> After the death of Remington [[Richard Lorenz (artist)|Richard Lorenz]] became the preeminent artist painting in the Western genre.<ref name="Badger">{{cite book |title=Wisconsin : a guide to the Badger State |date=1941 |publisher=Duell, Sloan Pearce |location=New York |page=156 |isbn=978-1-60354-048-3 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qNmxCkmkam0C&dq=Richard+Lorenz+artist&pg=PA156 |access-date=13 June 2022 |archive-date=April 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230405204157/https://books.google.com/books?id=qNmxCkmkam0C&dq=Richard+Lorenz+artist&pg=PA156 |url-status=live }}</ref>
