Western Art Artist Shannon Stirnweis
(1931-2019)
.
From the
artist –
"The Love Flute" –
"White travelers chronicled the plaintive songs of the courting flutes in the village air. A
Sioux
could have a magic flute especially made by the medicine man which when played properly was guaranteed to win a maiden's heart. So out of the bushes on a summer's night, within hearing of his love's tepee, the brave would play his melancholy, erotic tune. This young man has at least induced his girl to come outside to listen."
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.
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!
