Protectors of the Cheyenne People
by Howard Terpning
“This painting provided me with the opportunity to portray three strong
and resolute Cheyenne warriors
in a simple setting of tranquility which belied the very nature of
their responsibilities as providers and protectors of their women, children
and old people,” says artist Howard Terpning of Protectors
of the Cheyenne People.“Even though it is said that they never numbered
more than 3,500 people, the Cheyenne had strict social rules and strong
warrior societies that made them a force to be reckoned with.”
Known as the “Storyteller of the Native American,”Terpning helps to
keep the Native American heritage alive with authenticity, respect and
admiration. As the most renowned and honored Western artist painting today,Terpning’s
work is treasured by collectors for the timeless stories they tell.“The
more I study the American Indian, the more intrigued I become,” says Terpning.“There’s
always another story waiting to be told and I feel it is a privilege to
be able to paint it.”

The Best of the West
The popularity of Western art has skyrocketed over the past
several years. A recent Wall Street Journal article titled “Lovers of Western
Art Stampede to Reno” tells of knowledgeable collectors from Maine to Hawaii
who are spending millions of dollars on important works by celebrated painters
of the Old West. One of the highlights of the Western Art collector’s year
is the annual Coeur d’Alene Art Auction, which makes Reno home to the nation’s
biggest and most successful auction of Western art. “You have no idea how
much wealth is in this room,” said one dealer, noting that for many in
the crowd, the second or third house is a ranch in Montana waiting to be
filled with paintings that reflect the history and the landscape of the
West.The 2004 auction sold 99.3% of the paintings, for a total of $18 million—a
record until 2005, when the same event garnered $21.2 million.
The annual Cowboy Artists of America (CAA) Sale is one of the country’s
premier Western American
art events. A ticketed event, which attracts hundreds of collectors
from around the world, it is the only time of year when the entire active
CAA membership exhibits together; sales figures run well into seven figures.
The 2005 Annual Santa Fe Art Auction topped out at $3.3 million.There are
dozens more larger Western Art Sales and Auctions including the Masters
of the American West Fine Art Exhibition and Sale in Los Angeles, the C.M.
Russell Auction of Original Western Art in Great Falls, Montana and the
Altermann Gallery’s auctions.
The big headline is that Western Art is no longer just for the West
and Southwest. It is being embraced
by collectors for its storytelling, emotion and documentation of our
heritage.Western Art is as uniquely
American as jazz.
For more than thirty years, the Greenwich Workshop has published the
finest contemporary western artists including Howard Terpning, Bev Doolittle,
James Bama, Don Crowley, Frank McCarthy and Tom Lovell. Morgan Weistling,
Mian Situ and Bob Coronato represent the next generation of Western art.
