Terpning, Howard

HOWARD TERPNING, born in Oak Park, Illinois, received his art education
at the American Academy of Art in the late 1940s, became one of the best
known and financially successful members of the Cowboy Artists of America.
He spent twenty-five years as an illustrator, creating work for numerous
publications including Time, Newsweek, and Reader’s Digest. He is
sometimes called the Storyteller of the Native American. His realistic
paintings are among the most sought after and acclaimed images ever
produced of Native American traditions, customs, and history. Not long
ago, Terpning was honored with a retrospective at the Eiteljorg Museum of
American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, Indiana.
