Featured Artist: Kyle Polzin
Residing just northwest of Austin in the Texas Hill County, Kyle
Polzin works diligently in his home studio creating some of the
most intricate and detailed Western still life paintings on par
with the European masters of the 18th and 19th centuries. His
paintings have become some of the most sought after artwork in
today's Western art market. The Great American West Gallery
has always been a strong proponent of Kyle's work and we go to
great lengths to aquire his paintings so that we can offer them to
our clients for their collections. Currently we have in inventory
two masterpieces in large formats and we are the only gallery in
the country to have Kyle's paintings available for purchase. Weary
Traveler shown below is one of the finest examples you will ever
find of the artist's mastery in creating mood and texture with his
depiction of a cowboy's gear tossed haphazardly on a bench after a
long day in the saddle. George Armstrong Custer - Letters from
Libbie is another Polzin masterpiece documenting important
possessions of the West's most famous historic figure. Custer is
most known for his demise in the Battle at the Little Big Horn but
another little known fact is that he was deeply and passionatley in
love with his wife Libbie and her letters to him during his various
tours of duty were some of his most prized possessions. The letters
from Libbie coupled with Custer's personal cavalry flag, saber, and
the general's wool hat with its two gold stars create a beautiful
scene with tremendous historic significance.
