The Upset Bedroom
Elling William Gollings captures a chaotic moment of Western life with a great sense of humor. The title, 'The Upset Bedroom,' is classic cowboy slang referring to a horse that has bucked off its rider and scattered their bedroll—essentially their portable bedroom. In the foreground, a paint horse stands amidst flying saddle blankets and a discarded bridle, while a rider in the background watches the aftermath with resigned patience. Gollings, who lived as a cowboy before becoming an artist, was famous for these authentic, unglamorous snapshots of daily life on the range.
