The Amon Carter Museum opened in January 1961 to house the collection of western art amassed by Fort Worth publisher and philanthropist Amon G. Carter, Sr. (1879-1955). Expanding on Carter's original collection of 400 paintings, drawings, and works of sculpture by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell-the single most important collection of works by these artists-the museum now encompasses a wide range of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture, as well as photographs from the early days of the medium to the present.

Among the riches of the paintings collection are:

Nineteenth-century landscapes by Hudson River School painters

Trompe-l'oeil still lifes

Fine examples of American impressionism and modernism

Paintings by Remington and Russell

Early scenes of the West by John Mix Stanley and Albert Bierstadt

Many memorable New Mexico paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe
