Hal Empie (1909–2002) was an iconic Arizona painter, cartoonist, and pharmacist who became a major figure in Southwestern art and culture. Operating the historic Empie Drug Store in Duncan, he gained national popularity as the creator of "Empie Kartz," a widely collected line of humorous, Western-themed postcards. Retiring to Tubac to focus exclusively on fine art, he developed a distinctive painting style celebrated for its rich color harmony, fluid brushwork, and atmospheric depictions of the American West.
