James Bohary (born 1940 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American abstract expressionist painter.
He emerged from the New York Studio School in 1969, where he studied painting and drawing with Philip Guston.
[2] His influences include prehistoric art, Sassetta, Rembrandt, Cézanne, and Willem de Kooning.
His paintings, including the new ones, exemplify many characteristics of the abstract expressionism of the modernist period.
His working methods[3] involve years of building dense masses of oil paint.
