About the Item
This painting, by listed artist James King Bonnar (1884-1961), is a lovely scene of Edgartown Harbor, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. It dates to ca 1960, towards the end of his career. There is a lot of action and detail presented, as the harbor is busy, likely in full summer season. The variety of boats, men working them and an abundance of rigging fill the composition. Bonnar, however, left enough of the foreground water clear to show off his skills of reflection and slight movement to the water. Full sail boats glide past in the background. A hillside of Edgartown is depicted beyond, with a few of its buildings highlighted. The sky is blue with just a hint of high clouds present. The composition is completed by the docks in the edge foreground and a grouping of anchors. It is signed lower right, with a few of the letters of “Bonnar” under the lip of the frame. Additionally, the painting is signed and titled on the back.
The oil on board measures 20” x 24” and is housed in a more recent gold metal leaf frame that complements the work well. Overall framed dimensions are 25” x 29”. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition with no issues to report. It is ready to hang on the wall of your choice to enjoy.
James King Bonnar was born in North Adams, Massachusetts in 1884. He was educated in Boston and was president of the Copley Society of Boston, living in nearby Newton. Bonnar painted North Shore scenes as well as rural New England scenes, in all seasons. He is known as a Rockport School painter. Bonnar died in 1961. This painting is a good example of his artistic and painterly abilities.
