This is a superb

"Arizona Highways, 1870"
Signed & Numbered
by famous
American Western Art Artist Shannon Stirnweis
(1931-2019)
.
From the artist –
"Arizona Highways, 1870" –
"What a difference a century can make. The history of the Southwest is full of periods where stage travel was made impossible by the intensity of Apache attacks. Highly skilled at guerrilla warfare and greatly abused by the whites, the Apache was a ferocious adversary. This stage is far from safety. However, if the crew is able, their marksmanship expert, perhaps they will be lucky."
Mr. Stirnweis
, already a successful illustrator, in time made the
decision to become a full-time Fine Art Artist
with paintings and lithographs sold across the United States and abroad. He had served two years as
President of the 700-member Society of Illustrators in New York (1972-1974), was one of four Founding Trustees of the Graphic Artists Guild, and wa
s
a member of the
Western Artists of America
.
The artist is included
in the important 1982 reference book
"
Contemporary Western Artists
"
by Peggy & Harold Samuels. His artwork is part of numerous public, corporate, and private Fine Art Collections in the United States and abroad.
Mr. Stirnweis and his paintings were so highly esteemed that the
Grumbacher Library
selected
his artwork exclusively for three of the books in their renowned
"
The Art of
"
S
eries: "
Painting the Wild West
",
"Painting Dogs"
, and
"Painting Cats"
.
Southwest Art
Magazine
in its
October 1977 Issue (
"
An Artist Who Has Returned to the West to Stay
", pp. 74-81
) described Mr. Stirnweis as a true
Historical Western Artist
. His
work captured the time period, geography, and details of the Old West and its spirit.
When he presented the West, its cowboys, its Native Americans, and its horses, he did so with the
realism and the actual features
of all. It was said, for example, that when he painted Native Americans,
you could tell immediately
if they were Cheyenne or Blackfoot, Comanche or Apache, or other Indian tribe. His work is just that accurate!
