Robert Farrington Elwell (1874-1962) was a painter of the American West whose illustrations were extremely popular at the beginning of the 20th Century. He worked for famed institutional magazines like Harper's, American Magazine, and The Outing. Elwell was able to convey the beauty and mystery of the American southwest like no other commercial artist of his generation. His authenticity and powerful color choices charged the imaginations of a generation of readers. His paintings told stories, recreating the lost world of the American west through an expert eye for aesthetics and a seemingly limitless imagination.
