About the Artist:
Orville Bulman (American, 1904-1978) was an American self-taught mid 20th century modern artist. Having been born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bulman went into his father's business. Notably exhibited works at New York's Society of Independent Artists in 1937, and again around 1948 at the Woodstock Art Colony.
By 1950, Bulman happened upon pictures of Haiti. Encaptured by the landscape and imagery, Bulman travelled to Haiti by 1952.

Condition
Good condition overall, presents well. Black light inspection (see add’l photos at blackrockgalleries.com) reveals no damage nor restoration. Rather, we believe the artist intentionally varnished the piece and then painted highlights over the varnish over certain places to finish the piece. Given the work’s provenance (including the Hammer Galleries stamp) and the serialized frame along with the painting, we believe that this piece to be an original work.
