Their last joint effort was finished in 1849 and John died destitute a few years later in 1856. James Bard continued painting with little evident change of style, suggesting that the greatest artistic input had always been his. Most of the steamers were painted against a slack tide with landscape; the sky and background painted first and the ship painted in bas-relief against the background. Sculptural effects were sometimes created with a build up of paint and gesso. Bard's work can be divided into three periods, each with an identifying signature. Until 1849: Joint signature; 1850-54: Drawn and painted by James Bard 162 Perry Street, New York; 1865-: J. Bard, Ny. His last painting is signed \"J. Bard, NY 75 Years.\""},"primaryMedia":{"value":"https://collection.folkartmuseum.org/internal/media/dispatcher/1441/full"},"names":{"label":"Names","value":"James Bard"},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"(1815\u20131897)"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"150917"}}]}
