Portraits of the West: James Bama
When illustrator and artist James Bama moved from New York to Wyoming in 1968, he began a
decades-long project to understand the West by making photographs and paintings of his new
friends and neighbors. Although Bama was best known for his highly detailed and realistic
illustrations and paintings, photographs were the foundation of his imagery. The Buffalo Bill
Center of the West debuted the new special exhibition “James Bama’s Photographs: Portraits of
the West.” Photographed mostly in the 1970s and ‘80s, Bama’s images reveal a complex view of
western America through portraits of diverse and fascinating people. The exhibition highlights
old-timers, children, rodeo performers, reenactors, Native activists, powwow dancers, ranchers, and outfitters through Bama’s lens. SLN live programs take you around the country to museums and landmarks right from the comfort of home. Call COA at 603-526-6368 to register. Space is limited!
