Cowboy Artists of AmericaCowboy Artists of America
by Michael Duty, Don Hedgpeth
Western Art

The most prestigious and widely recognized group of Western artists in the country, the CAA has defined the parameters of Western art, dictating style, subject matter, and market value. This large-format book features the artwork of more than fifty current and past members of this elite organization of painters and sculptors. Their subjects range from mountain men, early settlers, and Native Americans, to cowboy life of both the old West and the contemporary ranch. The Western landscape's defining character provides an underlying force throughout.


Howard Terpning: Spirit of the Plains People
by Don Hedgpeth, Howard Terpning

Howard Terpning, often referred to as the "Storyteller of the Native American People," has concentrated his award-filled career on painting the major Great Plains tribes: Blackfeet, Sioux, Cheyenne, Crow, Commanche, and Apache. Terpning's images are powerful and sweeping, yet profoundly intimate in the way they include the viewer in the emotion of each scene, like the sweetness in a young girl's passage into womanhood or the youthful pride of a new warrior. His paintings chronicle the Plains Indians' "glory days" in the early nineteenth century until their displacement as a result of the westward expansion of the white man.
Western historian Don Hedgpeth interweaves a stirring narrative about the tribes' final, desperate years and the spiritual basis to all aspects of their lives.


Into the Wilderness : An Artist's Journey
by Stephen Lyman (Illustrator),
Mark Mardon (Contributor), Bev Doolittle (Introduction)

"Lyman celebrates the importance of the wilderness through his beautiful paintings and extraordinary photos. Through Lyman's art, and in the words of writer and former Sierra magazine editor Mark Mardon, the reader can experience the deep quiet of the woods, find serenity at the water's edge, climb mountains, and be at home in the wilderness." Ingram
