About the Item

James C. Litz is a self-taught artist who has a "primitive-naive" style of oil and acrylic paintings that features colorful and humorous characters and scenes. His paintings have a very child-like quality to them and you can see the artist's active imagination at work transforming everyday life into art. In 1994, the fine arts magazine Sunstorm, described him as having a "natural wit and style". Permanent displays: The National and International Vietnam Veterans War Art Museum, Chicago, IL; the American Folk Art Museum, NYC; the President Bush Library, Houston, TX; Museé D'Art Naïf de l'lle De France; the International Folk Art Museum, La Jolla, CA; and the James Fennimore Coopers Museum, Cooperstown, NY. Private Collections: Jackie Gleason (deceased); Roy Rogers (deceased); the Flamenco guitarist Carlos Montoya (deceased); opera singer Patrice Munsel, cellist Lynn Harrell, and Bill Cosby.
