Beginning with The Guns of Navarone in 1961, he became a prolific film poster artist for such films as Cleopatra (1963), that nearly caused a lawsuit when the makers of Carry On Cleo based their original artwork on Terpning’s work,^[3] Doctor Zhivago, The Sound of Music, and many others.

In 1967 Terpning went to the Vietnam war to paint for the U.S. Marine Corps. Six of his paintings hang in the National Museum of the Marine Corps.^[1]

In the early 1970s, Terpning reduced his commercial work and gradually began painting Western scenes and painting of Native Americans, eventually moving to Arizona to do it full time in 1976. He is a member of the Cowboy Artists of America.

A 26 August, 2007 New York Times article called Terpning “the most famous American artist you never heard of”.^[4]

Terpning was profiled November 30, 2008 on CBS Sunday Morning.
