A painter, muralist, wood engraver, and illustrator, Howard McCormick became best known for his museum murals depicting Southwest Indians. He was born in Hillsboro, Indiana and studied art at the Indianapolis School of Art with William Forsyth, the New York School with William Merritt Chase, and in 1895 at the Academie Julian in Paris with Jean Paul Laurens. He was a member of the American National Academy and exhibited at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1913 and the Salons of America in 1934.
In the early 1900, McCormick traveled to Arizona, having been encouraged to visit that area by his artist friend Elbridge Burbank. McCormick did murals of Arizona's Native Americans and the states vistas for the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the John Herron Art Institute, the State Museum in Trenton, New Jersey, the Museum of Science and Industry in New York, and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
