About the Item

Purple Loco, Yellow Paper Daisy, White Dematis, Davis, Mountains, Texas is a limited edition color photograph depicting a close up of a colorful wildflower field. Floral, flora, plant Edition 3 of 30 Signed in pencil on mount Artist copyright, stamp in black ink on verso, with title, date and edition in black ink Texas Wildflowers Portfolio 1979 "Jim Bones was 15 years old when the family got a Brownie 8mm camera. It was Christmas 1958, just before the Air Force moved them cross-country from Virginia to Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, where his father would continue serving as an officer. That trip marked the birth of a photographer, with a special interest in capturing scenes of mountains, deserts, oceans, and missiles. By the time Jim entered the University of Texas, Austin, in 1962, he had already lived in Florida, Texas, California, Maryland, and Virginia. At the university, his interests became as migratory as his future life would become, from aerospace engineering to physics to geology before finding a home in the fine arts. He also became a teaching assistant to Russell Lee, noted depression-era Farm Security Administration documentary photographer. Encouraged by Lee, Jim began a lifelong love affair with 4x5 inch format cameras. In 1970, Jim received a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Career Fellowship at KERA-TV in Dallas, to produce environmental films and nature poems incorporating large-format images and motion picture film. From 1972 to 1973, as a Texas Institute of Letters Dobie-Paisano Fellow, Jim was the first photographer and artist to spend a year at the former J. Frank Dobie Ranch, near Austin. The photographs from his residency were published in 1975 as Texas Heartland: A Hill Country Year, with text by John Graves. Jim worked in Tesuque, New Mexico from 1975 to 1978, as a dye transfer printing assistant to premier large-format color nature photographer Eliot Porter. His continuing career as a freelance photographer and writer developed from these experiences. Jim Bones’ other books include Texas Earth Surfaces (1970), Texas Wild (1976), Texas West of the Pecos (1981), Rio Grande, Mountains to the Sea (1985), Texas, Images of the Landscape (1986), Seeds of Change: The Living Treasure (1994), The Smithsonian Guides to Natural America: The South-Central States (1996), and A Long View Southwest (2012). Fifty years of Jim’s work in the Big Bend were featured in Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine, April 2015, and in the 2016 Big Bend National Park Calendar, for the 100th Anniversary year of the National Park Service. In 1994, Jim began conducting workshops and teaching about seedball use for Living Art Landscape Rehabilitation, a technique he learned from Masanobu Fukuoka, author of A One-Straw Revolution, while on assignment in Japan. His online video, The Seedball Story, has been viewed more than 121,000 times and copied around the world. In the video he challenges the viewer: “Ask yourself, whose heart have you touched today, and whose eyes have you opened, and to what? To truth and beauty, I trust. Life is art. The rest is just artifact." From the Museum of Big Bend
