Bernard Badura (1896 - 1986) Oil on canvas board, signed lower right, measures (12 x 15) w/ frame (15 x 17.5 inches) Bernard 'Ben' Badura lived and worked in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, a community filled with artists because of its natural beauty and proximity to the major art markets of Philadelphia and New York. Badura studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and was awarded several honors while there, including the Cresson European Traveling Scholarship in 1924.
