"Among all the Plains Indians," Howard Terpning explains, "grandparents were
revered
by the young children for their wisdom and knowledge. These Blackfoot children
listen
intently as their grandfather speaks; later, when they have grandchildren
of their own, the
listeners will be the storytellers, keeping their oral history alive."
Howard practically swept the awards at the annual Cowboy Artist of America
exhibition
last October, his works taking the gold in the categories of Oil, Water Solubles
and
Drawing and Other Media. Terpning's originals are virtually inaccessible
except to a very
few...one of many reasons why Grandfather Speaks presents an
exceptional collecting
oportunity.
