About This Item
1989. A pencil drawing of a cobra head used to illustrate Jim Harrison's poem, "Cobra" in the Clark City Press edition of The Theory and Practice of Rivers. Three years earlier, Chatham illustrated another edition of the poems, but with atmospheric rather than literal drawings. Clark City Press was Chatham's imprint.
The drawing measures roughly 2-3/4 by 5-1/2 inches on a larger sheet. It is framed in light-colored wood to just shy of 17 by 21 inches. The mat opening is about 5-1/2 by 8-1/2 inches.
Chatham (1939-2019) was a landscape painter who spent most of his career working in Montana. His paintings provided the cover illustrations for a number of his friend Jim Harrison's books. Chatham wrote on flyfishing and illustrated a number of books about the natural world, including several of Harrison's books. A fine drawing in a fine frame (not examined outside of the frame). With a label from Rebecca Fine Art in Livingston, Montana, on the back of the frame.
