Donald Spaulding's artistic talents were recognized early. Encouraged by his high school teachers to pursue formal art training, he studied at the Art Students League in New York City a month before the draft called in 1944.
Following his military service, he returned to the Art Students League for four years of study under Frank Vincent DuMond, Robert Beverly Hale and William McNulty. In addition, he studied for five months with Norman Rockwell in his Vermont studio.
In 1952, he started his career as a freelance illustrator by painting covers for Lone Ranger and other Dell comic books. For the next 25 years, Spaulding worked for a wide range of publishing clients. In 1976, he ventured into the world of Western paintings. Four years later, Spaulding had become a full-time Western artist.
Spaulding's paintings have appeared on the covers of national magazines and are owned by several museums, including West Point Museum, New York; Fort Riley Cavalry Museum, Kansas; United States War College and The Pentagon, both in Washington, D.C.; and the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia.

Born in San Francisco, Gordon Grant is known for his etchings and paintings of marine subjects. He also painted portraits, streets, harbors, beaches and marines, and was an illustrator, whose work included pulp fiction* for Popular Detective magazine in the 1930s. Skilled with watercolor, Grant was honored many times by the American Watercolor Society*. Memberships included the Society of Illustrators*, Salmagundi Club*, Allied Artists of America*, New York Society of Painters, and American Federation of Artists*.
At age 13, he was sent to Scotland for schooling, and the four-month sail around Cape Horn remained a permanent influence on his career. He studied art in Heatherly and at the Lambeth School of Art* in London, and then in 1895, he became a staff artist for the San Francisco Examiner. The next year, he took the same type of job for the New York World and covered the Boer War for Harper's Weekly. He also worked for Puck magazine...

Going into Battle
By Carl Kauba
Located in Missouri, MO
Carl Kauba
"Going into Battle" c. 1920s
Bronze with Brown Patina
Signed
approx 10 x 10 x 4 (including wooden base)
This Austrian sculptor was born in Vienna in 1865. His teachers were Karl Waschmann (1848-1905), known for his ivory sculptures and portrait plaquettes of contemporary celebrities, and Stefan Schwartz (1851-1924), who exhibited in Paris, including the Exposition Universelle of 1900 where he won a gold medal. Kauba's intricate bronzes, imported to the United States between 1895 and 1912, were cast at the Roman Bronze Works. Kauba was part of the nineteenth-century tradition of polychrome bronze sculpture. There were several types of patinas on a single statue: he could render the color of buckskin, variously tinted shirts, blankets, feathers, as well as beaded moccasins. Reportedly, Kauba came to America around 1886. Inspired by the Western tales of German author Karl May, he traveled to the West and made sketches and models. Critics, however, pointed out inaccuracies of costume and other details. For instance, the guns that his "mid-nineteenth-century" figures use are models produced after 1898. Apparently he did all of his works back in Vienna.
Besides the variety of color, Kauba's bronzes show a great range of textures and his style is highly naturalistic. The sculptor loved ornament, some of which he rendered with coiled wire for reins, rope and feathers in headdresses. He successfully rendered figures in motion and often executed compositions with more than one figure. Berman (1974) illustrates non-Western subjects by Kaula, such as the pendants Where? and There (ca. 1910), a seated Scottish couple, impressive in the expressions and the details on patterned fabrics of both sitters. Another genre piece is Buster Brown...
