Bob Scriver
Bronzes

Carrying on the realistic, storytelling tradition of
Frederic Remington and Charles Russell.

Bob Scriver (1914-1999) was born on the Blackfeet Reservation in northwest Montana and many of his life-long companions were from that tribe. His works captured the frenzied action of cowboys, people of the Blackfeet Nation and animals of that area as seen first-hand by the artist.

His education began in Browning, Montana, culminating with a Master's Degree in Music. He taught public school in Browning and Malta, Montana and also played in professional bands across the Northwest and Canada before turning to taxidermy in 1951. He used his taxidermy skills to develop the Museum of Montana Wildlife in Browning. His fondness for hunting along with his taxidermy skills adds to the accuracy of his wildlife sculptures.

Scriver did several series of sculptures including 33 works showing rodeo action and 53 pieces tracing the history of the Blackfeet. He was a collector of so much cowboy and Indian memorabilia that after his death on January 29, 1999, several auctions of these items were held.
