拍品专文

A founding member and President of the Cowboy Artists of America, John Wade Hampton grew up in Brooklyn, New York, with dreams of the West inspired by watching old Tom Mix movies. He began his career as an illustrator, helping draw the Red Ryder comic strip, and then purchased a ranch near Silver City, New Mexico, to experience the cowboy lifestyle himself and paint in its tradition. Hampton spent the latter years of his career in Arizona.
