This monochromatic master work, "A Cracker Cowboy" by Remington, is rendered in black and white and shows a weary cowboy on horseback strolling along with light cloudy sky above and colonial landscape in high detail. The application of impressionism and romanticized themes creates a painting that generates complex emotions of nostalgia for days of adventure and the cowboy west. The use of only black and white brings about stark detail through shading and fine lines that create aesthetic genius.
