FRENCH BRONZE MODEL OF ATALANTA18 x 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 in.

- HOWARD TERPNING (1927-), STATUS SYMBOLS
HOWARD TERPNING (1927-), STATUS SYMBOLS Title: Howard Terpning (1927-), Status Symbols Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 34 x 26 Frame dimensions: 45 x 37 x 4 Notes: Often referred to as the Storyteller of the Native American, Howard Terpning’s realistic paintings are among the most sought after and acclaimed images ever produced of Native American traditions, customs, and history. Deep dedication to the accurate, compassionate and insightful depiction of Native American culture is masterfully rendered in his historical works.
Born in Oak Park, IL in 1927, he attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and the American Academy of Art. He worked in commercial art in Chicago before moving to New York City where he had a successful career as an illustrator for popular magazines and movie posters.
Terpning moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1977 to document Native American culture and the American West. In 1979, he was elected to the National Academy of Western Art and the Cowboy Artists of America. Over the last five decades, his work has garnered every top award in Western art including several Gold Medals from the Cowboy Artists of America, two Prix De West Purchase Awards from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, the Hubbard Award for Excellence and the Autry National Center of the American West’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
Describing this painting, the artist wrote, “The figures and horses on the hide tell the story of this Plain Indian’s many war exploits. His war shield has powerful medicine and is a symbol of his belief in its power. The lance is a weapon with which he is proud to pose.”
