J. Clinton Shepherd was an American artist best known for his Western-themed paintings, bronze sculptures, magazine illustrations, and murals. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and developed a lifelong fascination with the American West after spending time among the Crow people in his youth. During the 1920s and 1930s, Shepherd gained recognition as an illustrator for publications such as The Saturday Evening Post, Collier’s, and several Western pulp magazines. Later, he moved to Florida, where he taught art, directed the Norton Gallery School of Art in Palm Beach, and created murals inspired by the Everglades and Southern landscapes. His work combined realism, dramatic storytelling, and a deep appreciation for frontier life and Native American culture. (en.wikipedia.org)
