Isabel Bishop

born Cincinnati, Ohio, 1902; died Riverdale, New York, 1988

BiographyIsabel Bishop was a leading painter and printmaker in New York City in the first half of the 20th century. She studied illustration at the New York School of Applied Design for Women and trained at the Art Students League. Her teachers encouraged her to focus on everyday scenes and inspired her to turn to New York’s street life for her subjects, particularly the Union Square neighborhood around her studio. Bishop began making prints, primarily etchings, in 1925 focusing on the same scenes as her paintings and creating an extensive and expressive body of work.
