Through his work, he brought visions of the open frontier and the wild west to a curious world and became one of the most prolific American artists of all time. The Bronco Buster portrays a rugged Western frontier cowboy character fighting to stay aboard a rearing, plunging bronco, with a stirrup swinging free, a quirt in one hand, and a fistful of mane and reins in the other. It was the first and remains the most popular of all of Remington's sculptures.
