James H. Cromartie
James H. Cromartie is an internationally renowned American artist credited with the birth of Hard-Edge Realism,〔1. “Nantucket: Home to Nationally Acclaimed Contemporary artists James Cromartie & Kerry Hallam.” Cape Cod Magazine. Mid-Summer 2001.〕 a style by turns both redolent of and a departure from the Magic Realism pioneered by Andrew Wyeth.〔2. J.W. Nostrand and James H. Cromartie. Nantucket Portrait: Fun & Games with the Super Rich the Birth of Hard-Edge Realism. Schiffer. Atglen, PA. 2008.〕 The list of celebrities and wealthy patrons reported to be among his collectors is extensive and examples of Cromartie’s work may be found in 125 countries across the globe.〔3. “Island painter James Cromartie wins alumni award.” The Inquirer and Mirror. October 27, 2005.〕 Domestically, Cromartie has been called, “one of America’s leading historical artists,” for his commissioned portraits of the White House, Smithsonian Institution, U.S Capitol and Supreme Court, among others.〔4. “Nantucket: Home to Nationally Acclaimed Contemporary artists James Cromartie & Kerry Hallam.” Cape Cod Magazine. Mid-Summer 2001.〕 In 2005, James H. Cromartie’s historical portrait of the White House was featured in the widely distributed art history textbook, ArtTalk, a distinction granted to a mere 25 living artists globally.〔5. Catherine Fahy. “Cromartie work in art history textbook.” The Inquirer and Mirror. 2005.〕 Cromartie has resided year-round on Nantucket, Massachusetts for over 35 years, proudly quipping, “there are Nantucket artists, but then again there are…artists who have chosen to live on Nantucket. There’s a b-i-g difference.” 〔6. “Nantucket: Home to Nationally Acclaimed Contemporary artists James Cromartie & Kerry Hallam.” Cape Cod Magazine. Mid-Summer 2001.〕
==Early life==
James H. Cromartie was born into one of North Carolina’s oldest and most prominent families, initially possessing over one-tenth of the state’s entire territory.〔7. J.W. Nostrand and James H. Cromartie. Nantucket Portrait: Fun & Games with the Super Rich the Birth of Hard-Edge Realism. Schiffer. Atglen, PA. 2008.〕 Despite the ease with which he could have obtained a career in civil service given his family’s numerous political connections, a young Jim found himself inexorably drawn to the world of fine art, relishing, in particular, the renowned realist artists, Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper.〔8. J.W. Nostrand and James H. Cromartie. Nantucket Portrait: Fun & Games with the Super Rich the Birth of Hard-Edge Realism. Schiffer. Atglen, PA. 2008.〕 Cromartie remembers, “They had a small bookstore in the museum…as a young third and fourth grade child I would steal those little books from the Mint Museum. Well I didn’t actually steal them all, I would buy one and take three, but I guess that’s the same thing.” 〔9. J.W. Nostrand and James H. Cromartie. Nantucket Portrait: Fun & Games with the Super Rich the Birth of Hard-Edge Realism. Schiffer. Atglen, PA. 2008.〕 Inspired by these canonical works, but only able to view the bookstore’s reproductions, Jim would later inadvertently pioneer a style that would be uniquely his own, Hard-Edge Realism. First, however, an important patron was fated to enter the life of the young artist, James H. Cromartie.〔10. J.W. Nostrand and James H. Cromartie.
