Artist bio:
Nicholas S. Firfires is a traditional western painter and illustratior specilizing in the west of the 1920's and 30's. Firfires is a descendant of the California Vaqueros, depicted by James Walker in the 1870's, living on the big ranches back of Santa Barbara in San Luis Obispo County. He worked with horses until he was 24, along side the old vaqueros, then attended the Art Center School in the oldest AI in LA. During WWII, he servered with the Army engineers as an artist. In 1945, Firfires turned to illustrations for Western magazines, and beginning in 1957, devoted himself to easel paintings. In 1969, Firfires won silver medal at a Cowboy Hall of Fame exhibition. 1970, he married the daughter of the cowboy actor Buck Jones, whose comic strips Firfires drew in the 1950's. "Someone asked me once", he said, " why my cowboys are always moving torward the right of my paintings. This is because a cowboy has his rope on the right side of his horse, so I paint him in a way that it shows."
