Title:	Western Rider on the Trail
Artist:	Seltzer, Olaf Carl (Copenhagen, Denmark, 1877 - Great Falls, MT, 1957)
Date:	1909
Medium:	Original Gouache Drawing
Note:	Olaf Carl Seltzer 'Olaf Seltzer': After the paintings of Frederick Remington and Charles Russell, the work of Olaf Carl Seltzer places him as one of the most important artists of the American West. Born in Denmark, he studied art (at age twelve) at the Polytechnic Institute in Copenhagen. Two years later he emigrated with his mother to Great Falls, Montana. Seltzer then worked briefly as a rancher and a cowboy before being hired by the Great Northern Railroad as an apprentice machinist. Within several years Olaf Seltzer became a locomotive repairman for the Railroad and continued to work in this capacity until he was laid off in 1921.
	In his spare time Olaf Carl Seltzer made many drawings and sketches. His first paintings date from 1897. In this latter medium he was both encouraged and instructed by his neighbour, Charles Russell. In 1926, Seltzer lived in New York City and completed some of Russell's commissions. By 1930 O. C. Seltzer had emerged as a major Western artist and continued to execute many paintings despite failing eyesight. Today his work is included in the most prominent collections of American Western art.
	Western Rider on the Trail dates from the earlier years of Olaf Carl Seltzer's career. It was probably intended as an illustration for a book or magazine. In this drawing, Seltzer's powerful depiction of the rider and his fine atmospheric effects within the landscape indicate his artistic talents.
