James Bishop (born 1927) is an American painter.
Life
Bishop was born in Neosho, Missouri.[2]
Born to Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Bishop, the artist graduated 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]
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.[7] He did not return to the United States for nine years.
In its October 2008 issue, Art in America published "Painting by Other Means" by Joe Fyfe, a major review of Bishop work.[8]
Currently, he works in Blévy, near Maillebois, in France.[1]
