  Painter James Bishop has died at age 93. His lyrical abstractions juxtapose fields of color, or expanses of primed and painted canvas. He often worked on found materials, displaying a careful attention to his substrate’s surface. In an essay for our October 2008 issue, artist and critic Joe Fyfe responded to a retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago that centered Bishop’s work on paper. “Bishop’s paintings on paper arise from a carefully determined process and an op

  Goya: Self-portrait, ca. 1796, brush and point of brush, and carbon black ink on laid paper, 6 by 3 5/8 inches.
