Tom Lovell, a renowned illustrator in New York City turned painter of Western themes, was celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail, completing only a few major oil paintings annually. Born in New York City and educated in Nutley, New Jersey, Lovell graduated as valedictorian, foreshadowing his later focus on the American West. After earning a BFA from Syracuse University in 1931, he enjoyed a distinguished 39-year career as a freelance illustrator for magazines such as Colliers and National Geographic. In 1975, Lovell relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico, joining the Cowboy Artists of America and focusing on historical Western subjects. His achievements include being the first artist to twice win the Prix de West from the National Academy of Western Art, induction into the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1974 and receiving lifetime achievement awards from the National Academy of Western Art and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1992.
“Chiricahua Scouts, 1886. The U.S. Cavalry, sometimes numbering 5,000 troops, tried unsuccessfully to capture Geronimo. Finally, with the aid of Chiricahua scouts this was accomplished. As a disgraceful climax, these very scouts were rounded up with other Apache hostiles and sent to Florida as prisoners of war. They were separated from their families, contrary to promises made by Gen. Miles. Here we see two Chiricahua scouts pausing for a drink of water. They carry Springfield .45-70 rifles, McClellan saddles and other U.S. gear that were truly ‘army surplus’ in 1886”. -Tom LovellCondition
