Visual Art of the American West 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\" on canvas. Presently, the genre flourishes in variety and popularity within the United States. Many designers and decorators in the southwest include \"Western Art\" in homes and businesses.
