This was accepted at CHRISTIES NYC & was to be gladly offered at their LIVING WITH ART December sale, but do to health reasons I could not get myself or it to N. I will make myself available for an inspection upon receipt of funds. When & only when you have seen , touched &. CAMILLE WAS A FASCINATING BEING , I will give you this bit of info for those who are not familiar with Camille’s Work. Camille Bombois was not a part of the Bohemian Paris café culture, but lived a bohemian lifestyle, nonetheless. Growing up, Bombois longed to live in Paris. He finally moved there and supported himself as a wrestler at fairgrounds to get by. This time working in the circus would stay with Bombois throughout his career and be a constant theme. Bombo eventually found a job working nights as a typographer, which allowed him to paint in the daytime. As he was a poor man, Bombois never received any academic training and is considered a naive, or self-taught artist. He would visit the Louvre from 1907 on to study the work of the old masters in an attempt to teach himself. Bombois didn’t begin exhibiting his work until 1922, at an open-air market in Montmarte. It wasn’t until 1924 that he began to receive serious acclaim in the art world. Wilhelm Uhde initially noticed Bombois’ talent and immediately bought his whole remaining collection. He would later exhibit this work at Les Matres populaires de la réalité in 1937, but Bombois would not have his first one-man show until 1944 at the Galerie Petrides. Despite the fact that he was a naïve artist, Bombois gained much acclaim in his lifetime and his work is still highly collectible today. Similarly, many authenticators may have unwittingly mistaken a Bombois for another artist, or disregarded it completely because it was a “naïve” piece of art.
