Life

Bishop was born in Neosho, Missouri.[2]

The only child of Otto McMaster Bishop and Faye Lenora Robinson Bishop, the artist lived with his family at 327 South Washington Street at the time of his graduation from Neosho High School in 1945. That same year, he entered Syracuse University, in Syracuse, New York,[3] and later obtained his bachelor's degree in journalism.[4]

Poster from Bishop's 2007-2008 exhibition of works on paper at the Josef Albers Museum.

Art career

Bishop's formal art education began in 1950 when he entered Washington University in St. Louis, where he studied art for three years.[5] Following his work at Washington University, Bishop studied at the Yale-Norfolk Summer Art School in Norfolk, Connecticut.[6] He also spent one year at Columbia College in New York.

Bishop moved to France in 1957 and had his first one-man show at the Galerie Lucien Durand in Paris in November 1963.[4] He did not return to the United States for nine years to take up a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2007-8, Bishop had an exhibition of works on paper at the Josef Albers Museum in Bottrop, Germany.

In its October 2008 issue, Art in America published "Painting by Other Means" by Joe Fyfe, a major review of Bishop work.[7]

Currently, he works in Blévy, near Maillebois, in France.[1]
