About the Item
Medium: Oil on Board
Signature: Signed Lower Center
This illustration was published as the paperback cover of The Devil of Bucks County by Edmund Schiddel (Bantam Books, 1967).
A native New Yorker, James Bama creates photo-real figures and paintings that capture the old "wild west." He converts his many photographs into paintings whose surfaces are so smooth and satiny that some people refer to him as the "Vermeer of the West" (McGarry 30). He graduated from New York City's High School of Music and Arts and then served in the military for three years. He attended the Art Students League and became a renowned illustrator in New York, working for Saturday Evening Post, Argosy, and Reader's Digest. He also did over sixty book covers for Doc Savage books of Bantam Press. In 1968, he and his wife moved to Wyoming, where he continued his illustration work and was not especially interested in western themes. However, attending pow wows, rodeos, and reenactments, he became increasingly interested in the local people and in 1971 gave up illustration. He works from a home studio built by him and his wife. He photographs his subjects in black and white, enlarges the photos, and makes an outline on tracing paper.

"Lobster Pots" Gloucester Massachusetts Seashore Scene Oil Painting with Figure
Located in New York, NY
Impressionist seashore landscape with figure of fisherman, lobster pots, and crashing waves in Gloucester Massachusetts. Willet has portrayed this piece in a most dramatic and energetic way and has packed much feeling into this miniature work. It is almost as if we are there in the waves in the early morning, with the man and his lobster pots. Christopher is known for capturing the beauty and simplicity of an earlier time of the 20th Century; old New York, families working together, villages and farms and friends taking walks together. Many are depicted in recognizable historical settings and this piece is an excellent example of this. Christopher engages his audience with the quick use of brushwork and great attention to picking up the energy passionately of his subjects. The piece comes housed in a decorated dark tone wood frame and it is ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso.
Art measures 5 x 7 inches
Frame measures 7.25 x 9.25 inches
