COWBOY ARTISTS OF AMERICA

October 23, 2005 the active members of the Cowboy Artists of America celebrate 40 years of style and distinction in portraying the American West. It's an achievement that founders Joe Beeler, George Phippen, John Hampton, and Charlie Dye never could have predicted. An exhibition group dedicated to traditional repesentations of the West was a novel concept during an era when non-objective art dominated mainstream movements and art schools. However, taking a cue from the Taos Society of Artists the CAA founders, recognized that a united front would focus the limelight on their favored cowboy and frontier themes. They also saw themselves as perpetuating the artistic legacy of turn of the 20th century New York artist / illustrator Frederic Remington and Montana artist / raconteur Charles Marion Russell. The CAA has always been an elite group of fewer than 30 active members who, according to Beeler, are handpicked based on talent and a respect for human values.
