For your consideration is this Frank McCarthy Signed Limited Edition, "Distant Thunder", #173/1000, comes with COA, 1976. "This is the Cavalry at work, on patrol in Kansas during the 1870s. It was in the Early West that the Cavalry grew into a legendary part of American history. There are many great characters written on the pages of those early days - Indians, trappers, cowboys. And the Cavalryman's chapter is as big as any." Frank McCarthy's (1924-2002) dynamic paintings frequently featured the people of the west with a special emphasis on the Plains Indian, mountain men and cavalry that comprised the lore and lure of the Old West. Appropriately entitled the “Dean of Western Action Painters,” Frank McCarthy’s art was unsurpassed for its motion, drama and absolute attention to accuracy and detail. Highly collected and frequently imitated, Frank McCarthy’s works were treasured throughout the world as classic examples of contemporary Western Art. Retrospective showings of Frank McCarthy’s paintings have been held at the Museum of the Southwest, Midland, Texas, the R.W. Norton Museum in Shreveport, La., the Thomas Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Ok., and in 1992, at the Cowboy Artist of America Museum (now known as National Center for American Western Art) in Kerrville, Texas. Frank McCarthy was invited to join the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America organization in 1975 and was an active member in that group for 23 years. He was inducted into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1997. Three books of his paintings have been published-The Art of Frank C. McCarthy, Frank C. McCarthy, Fifteen Anniversary commemorative and The Old West, a leather-bound Collector’s Edition. More than 100 limited edition art prints of his paintings have been published since 1974, by The Greenwich Workshop.
