Small Comfort - Howard Terpning

Description: "Small Comfort" - Whereas the white man would probably build a large fire, the Indian would build a very small one. The Indian in this painting is wearing a white man's buffalo hide coat and he is seeking the warmth of a small fire as his pony endures the bitter cold of a Northern Plains winter. Title: Small Comfort Artist: Howard Terpning Year Printed: 1981 Size Of Edition: 1000 Signed And Numbered Artist's Proofs: 35 Printer's Proofs: 2 Proofs For Copyright Registration: 2 About the artist: Howard Terpning built a successful career in advertising illustration, gave it up to become a Western painter, and in just a few years has done almost everything there is to do in Western Art. "Convincing".."believable".. that's how people describe his work. For he has the remarkable ability to make a scene come to life for the viewer - even if it took place a hundred years ago. Born in Oak Park, Illinois, and educated at the Chicago Academy of Fine Art and the American Academy of Art, Terpning went the apprentice route to work his way to New York and big-time commercial illustration. Movie assignments included The Guns of Navarone, Dr. Zhivago, A Man for All Seasons, The Sound of Music and Cleopatra. He did covers for Time, Newsweek, The Reader's Digest and other magazines. But those who knew his work best, told him it deserved to be in museums, not magazines. So he headed West, for Tucson, and like those a century before him, he blazed a new trail to success. Just three years after that move, in 1979, he was elected to the National Academy of Western Art, and the same year, by unanimous vote, to the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America. In 1980, Howard was awarded the National Academy's Gold Medal for his outstanding exhibition in oil, and the same year at the Cowboy Artists of America's 15th Annual Exhibition, he took four major prizes... the Men's Arts Council award; the Colt Award, and two silver awards, one for oil and one for a drawing. Terpning sums it up best: "It never occurred to me to make a living doing fine art paintings ... I started as an illustrator and it took a lot of time to realize that I really could earn a living painting the kind of pictures I want to paint most." A lot of people are very happy that Howard Terpning came to that realization and turned his talented hand and sensitive perceptions to creating Western art.
