Seller's Description:
Very Good. Size: 10x8x0; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Shelf wear. Some discoloration to jacket. Clean, unmarked pages. James Bishop's abstractions are often composed of large expanses of just a few colors. Because he was active during the postwar era, his work has drawn comparisons to various movements, such as Abstract Expressionism and Supports/Surfaces, a French group that relied on abstraction to consider the basic structures that constitute painting. But Bishop was content to describe himself as "an Abstract Expressionist of the quieter branch."
