Showcasing more than 150 images from the James Bama archive in the McCracken Research Library at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, this catalogue presents a powerful visual conversation about Bama's maturing vision of the West. Bama's photographs are thought-provoking, inspiring questions about the resilience and transfer of traditions across generations, the formation identities, and the relationship between the artist and his subjects. Taken as a group, they comprise a multi-faceted portrait of the American West.
