The indomitable power of the human spirit binds mankind. We can recognize and identify with this across nationality, geography and time. Howard Terpning’s ability to capture and express this in his art is what attracts us to his paintings and sets them apart from others. We share his awe for the beauty of our world in "The Force of Nature Humbles All Men," the burden of leadership in "Chief Joseph Rides to Surrender" and the expression of this Blackfoot medicine man’s belief and faith in Terpning’s "Calling the Buffalo."
