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.

Father and Son, Women's Day Magazine Cover, January 1945
By Spencer Douglass Crockwell

Signature: Signed Lower Right
Father and Son, Women's Day Magazine Cover, January 1945
The illustrations of Douglas Crockwell were often simply signed “Douglass” to avoid confusion with the signature of Norman Rockwell, particularly since their work was being published on the covers of The Saturday Evening Post during the same period. Necessary too, because Crockwell also worked very realistically, and like Rockwell, was particularly good with children.
Their backgrounds, however, were entirely different. Crockwell was born in Chicago, Ohio, and took his degree in Science at Washington University, followed by study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago and the St. Louis School of Fine Arts. He received his first commission for a cover for The Saturday Evening Post in 1933, and this was followed by many more, as well as work for other periodicals and a long list of national advertisers.
During the ‘thirties, he also completed Post Office murals in Vermont, New York State and Mississippi, and began to work on experimental animated films. The films, and inventing a “pan-stereo” viewing...
