thumb William "Jesse" Ramey (January 28, 1891 – May 26, 1963)〔Dates and locations taken from Michigan issued Death Certificate〕 is considered a vintage Master Carver of Fish decoys.〔American Fish Decoys by Steven Michaan〕 Occasionally you will see his work entitled to "Jess Ramey" however all that knew him called him "Jesse" (which really was his middle name). His work, along with Oscar W. Peterson's, formed the basis of what is now considered the "Cadillac style".〔 Ramey primarily carved decoys for himself and some friends. His output was very limited and therefore his pieces are considered fairly rare, even in highly used condition.〔The Fish Decoy (1986) by Art, Brad, and Scott Kimball〕 His pieces have been seen in the following museum exhibits: * “Fishing for Art, an Exhibition of the Implements and Art of Angling” American Museum of Fly Fishing at the Addison Gallery of American Art, 3/17/1984 - 4/15/1984 * “Gone Fishin ... an Exhibition of the Art & Artifacts of Angling” - Leelanau Historical Museum 6/11/1989-1/29/1990. * “Hooked on Wood, The Allure of the Fish Decoy” The Center for Art in Wood, Philadelphia PA 5/12/2012 - 7/21/2012. == Early life == William Jesse Ramey was born January 28, 1891 to Fleming Ramey and Latisha E Musser Ramey in Greenup County, Kentucky.〔 They moved to Michigan during his childhood〔 and he married Gertrude May Yager in Antrim County on August 11, 1910.〔Dates and locations taken from Michigan issued Marriage License.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Jesse Ramey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
