About the Item

Jim's of Lambertville is proud to offer this painting by Faye Swengel Badura (1904 – 1991). Faye Swengel Badura was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania in 1904. She began her art studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1923, under the tutelage of Daniel Garber. While there, Swengel Badura was put in charge of selecting Academy students to receive scholarships for studies at the Barnes Foundation. In 1926, she won the Academy’s prestigious Cresson Traveling Scholarship for study in Europe and spent four months abroad in England, France, and Italy. In addition to her education at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Swengel Badura studied at the Barnes Foundation as well as with avant-garde modernist painter, Arthur B. Carles. While at the Academy, Faye met fellow art student, Ben Badura, and in 1928, the couple married. They lived first in Reading, Pennsylvania, then Harrisburg, before moving to Centre Bridge in 1930. In 1937, the Baduras bought a property on Main Street in New Hope. The building served as an art studio, frame shop, and their home for more than 50 years. Swengel Badura was the recipient of many prestigious awards during her career, including the Mary Smith Prize and a Gold Medal from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Her work was exhibited in major venues such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the National Academy of Design; the Art Institute of Chicago; the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Cincinnati Art Museum; the Woodmere Art Museum; and the Phillips Mill Community Association. Faye Swengel Badura’s artwork is in the permanent collections of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Woodmere Art Museum, and the James A. Michener Art Museum.

"River Above New Hope"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 41, plate #047 Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Joseph Barrett (1936 – ) Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf. A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
