Kid Gloves and Brass Knuckles: The Life of Nancy Cooper Russell with Mary Jane Bradbury

CANCELLED

Bradbury brings Nancy Russell, a woman ahead of her time, to life and shares the story of her chance meeting with the Montana cowboy artist who would become her husband.

Nancy was a self-taught business woman with the ability  to take charge – she helped Charles M. Russell become the highest paid living artist of his time. Art historians consistently give her credit for being the reason the world has the extraordinary Russell paintings and sculptures that grace galleries and private collections today.

Mary Jane Bradbury describes the world of art that celebrated the myth of the west at the beginning of the 20th century, and tells stories about the many artists and celebrities that the couple knew and met as they journeyed from New York City to Hollywood.
