Provenance: Scottsdale Art Auction, Scottsdale, AZ, 2008 Private collection, California Howard Terpning was a major force in illustration on the East Coast throughout the 1950s, 1960s and into the 1970s. He dropped it all in 1974 when he moved from Connecticut to Tucson, Arizona, to pursue easel painting. His entire second career was made in less than five years—from 1974, when he moved to Tucson, to 1979, when he was inducted into the Cowboy Artists of America. Those crucial years set the stage for the unprecedented career that followed. Leading the War Party, painted in 1977, arrived during that consequential period as the artist was still getting his footing in a new art world. And though it came early from Arizona studio, the painting contains many of the iconic qualities from the artist, including magnificent action, bold light and color, and effortless-looking brushwork that packs in both detail and emotion without overfilling the painting.
