895 Broncho Buster Bronze Sculpture. A common misspelling of Broncho Buster is Bronco Buster. The rugged Western frontier character portrayed in Remington’s 1895 sculpture, won the hearts of the American people for both the subject matter and its dynamic composition. The Broncho Buster was the first, and most popular ofFrederic Remington’s sculpture designs and remains so to date. The Broncho Buster is also one of the most widely recognized of Remington's sculpture portrayals; this is partly due to the publicity surrounding President Theodore Roosevelt and the “Rough Riders” to whom Remington presented it as a gift. This casting now resides in the White House oval office as a center piece and permanent element of the collection. It was executed in the summer of 1895, and later that fall it was copyrighted with the United States Copyright office. Sculpting was a new medium for Remington at this time, and this new method of portrayal was a total success in the eyes of his collectors and art historians. Breaking away from the restricted limits of flat paper, pen & ink and watercolor; Remington stampeded right to the next level of his artistic potential, through the more effective medium of three dimensional expressions. Remington, who always strived to capture the essence of the moment in his work, now found he was more able to effectively express that which he had observed first hand. 100% bronze and handmade, this brown patina sculpture was cast using the "Lost Wax Method" and mounted on a black marble base and is signed Fredrick Remington.
