Now In: Giclee/Canvas Prints → Bama, James
James Bama James Bama was born in 1926 and grew up in the Northeast. He followed his early interest in art through New York’s specialized High School of Music and Art and the Art Students League. As a professional, Bama has earned a reputation for several facets of his talent. He freelanced briefly before spending fifteen years at the respected Charles E. Cooper Studios—at the time, the country’s top firm of illustrators—and more freelancing followed. Then Bama decided it was finally time
to do what he most wanted to do. He moved west to Wyoming, where
an artist “can trace the beginnings of Western history;
see the oldest weapons, saddles and guns and be close to Indian
culture.” He sold his first Western fine art painting soon
after the move. In his much-acclaimed studies,
Bama shows the contemporary West preserving its traditional
culture. His portraits of inhabitants of the plains and mountains
capture the true character of the West. Through his portraits of real people
of the new West re-creating their history and heritage, Bama
pays homage to the Old West and is renowned in yet another realm
of the art world.
