Turning The Leaders 21” high Bronze on Wood Base Signed in base John Hampton 1981 40/55 John Hampton (1918-2000) Founder and early president of the Cowboy Artists of America, John was raised in Brooklyn, New York where he developed a love for the west from watching early Tom Mix movies. He began illustrating while still in high school. Eventually settling in Arizona, John gained international recognition as both a painter and sculptor of cowboy life learning first hand from living much of his life in the Southwest. John once said “I like to paint the romance of the west, not somebody getting a saddlesore or a hernia.” It was in 1977 when Hampton tried his hand at bronze work and won the gold medal at the Cowboy Artists of America show. John spent the last years of his life in Sonoita, AZ.
