CW Art

Just wondering how many of you own some "CW Art".

I have a Troiani Print "Eve of the Storm" 1089/1500 and a William Maughn Print, "The Prayer Warrior". So shoot me, I'm a Stonewall Jackson bandwagon jumper. Both matted and framed in cherry wood.

Re: CW Art

Riley -
You make me wonder when you select 1) Troiani, 2) Rocco and 3) "I own no art".

Re: CW Art

My wife has been kind enough to buy me 4 Troiani's over the last year or so decorate the study at home:

Rock of Erin
Eagle of the Eighth
Fire on Caroline Street
Burnsides Bridge

Many years ago my Father got me a print of the 1st Battalion, 13th US Infantry assaulting the Conferate works at Vicksburg. It is part of the US War Office series.

Re: CW Art

Quite a few years back my parents gave me a very nicely framed print of Gallon's "The Day is Ours" as a Christmas present. Truth be told, Gallon is not my favorite artist and I would prefer a Troiani, but it was a nice gift nonetheless. Thanks, folks!

Re: CW Art

I have a few different ones. BUT - If anyone has or runs across "The Wild Hills Of Resaca." I would love to have it. The artist wasn't that well known (early - mid 1990's) I think. He kept them at his house which suffered a fire and damaged a large majority of the prints. I don't think they are very valuable since he wasnt' that a good of an artist - but I live in Resaca - so its a sentimental thing for me.

I have seven Bradley Schmehl prints two Dale Gallons and one Kuntsler much to my wifes' dismay. Schmehl did a great series on Stonewall Jackson - "Jackson's Disciples, etc.

Re: CW Art

I'm a Keith Rocco man myself!

Outpost (Union)
Outpost (Confederate)
In Reserve
The Chosen Ground
Decision at the Crossroad - Battle of Corinth

Rocco’s art reminds me of Winslow Homer works. He isn't obsessed with the Irish, Jackson, or Stuart :baring_te . Many of his paintings and prints portray my beloved uncouth Westerners both Federal and Confederate, which I enjoy, go figure!

Re: CW Art

I think I'm down to only about seven or eight Troiani's. I have four or five Kunstlers, 1 Gallon, one Schmell, several Strains and a few Rick Reeves.

I have several art prints and even some original pieces from the late 1800s and beyond but I would have to say the majority are of Don Troiani and Robert Rucker. Rucker is a Louisiana painter who does nice ones of the Civil War or Antebellum era including "Christmas at Mansfield" and "Donaldsonville Artillery"
Troiani's include "Rebel Yell", "Louisiana Tiger", and the seemingly unknown one, "Sibley' Texans." I really like Rick Reeves work on "A Grand Charge" (the 165th New York Charge at Port Hudson.) and want to get more of his.
I have one that most of the women tend to migrate to by Don Stivers with the southern belle hanging on the arm of her departing captain.
But, like you Jerry, I too am interested in one from the Atlanta Campaign that showed Austin's (14th) Battalion of Louisiana Sharpshooters. Somewhere in an old CWTI it has who did it and a the name of it I cant recall. I once called Rick Reeves and asked him but he said it wasnt him. It sounds like we may be talking about the same print. If I find it I will let you know and vice versa.

Re: CW Art

This is really my first post here as I have come on here for years and learned a great deal from this site, a ton of great information here. Anyway, I own 2 prints from Phil Wikoff, a local Wilmington, De. artist: 1. 'In the ray of the clear Autumn moon'(Gen. Grant)..2. 2nd Delaware 'Into the Wheatfield'...July 2nd 1863...also my wife and kids had Phil do a pencil sketch of me without me knowing it and I got it for Father's Day around 4 years ago. The last print I own is a Bradley Schmehl: 'Into the Wheatfield'...The 2nd Delaware at Gettysburg....I was lucky enough to be a model for this painting back in 2000 and ended up being in the painting which now resides in Legislative Hall in Dover, Delaware, our state capital. So, I think it's pretty cool when my time is up here, a ton of school kids and others will view that great painting with me in it till the end of time.

Re: CW Art

I've done research for Dan Nance for some time and would highly recommend him. He's currently gotten into some Native-American artwork that's been really interesting also. Anyone seen his Forrest series? My two cents.

Re: CW Art

Although probably not considered "Civil War Art" in the context of this poll, I have two original Harper's Weekly "centerfolds" depicting the Death of Lyon at Wilson's Creek and the Battle of Lexington (Mo) framed in my office. I would like to get a print of the Winslow Homer painting depicting a veteran at work in a field. Among the current crop of artists, my pick would be Troiani and Rocco.
