Product Description
Born in Missouri in 1927, Bishop has lived in Paris since the 1950s. One of the most sensitive lyrical abstract painters, he has devoted the last three decades to small paper works that are transparent, compact, fluid and spatially ambiguous. Herein, works on paper since the 1960s and several paintings.
Reader ReviewsJames Bishop was part of the nineteen seventies group of minimalists that included Brice Marden, Robert Mangold, Robert Ryman and Agnes Martin. His paintings from that time were subtle and austere examples from the period. This book focuses on the small paintings on paper that broke him apart from the artists mentioned above. He still lives and works near Paris and,since the seventies, has produced beautifully subtle paintings on paper that sometimes measure within ten to fifteen inches(or less). The pieces recall Giorgio Morandi, Cezanne and early Renaissance masters in their sense of space and scale. This is a great introduction to his work and the essays are also outstanding.
