Bishop has always felt an affinity for French art and connects her work to the insights of the Impressionists, Nabis, and Fauves. Like that of abstract expressionism, Bishop's works also reference the magnificent late work of Claude Monet. This volume traces her development from the monochromatic paintings of her early work and the mysteriously deep Reflections, through the experimental paper works, to the vividly colored, expressive large formats of her outstanding series Pulsations. An interview with the artist and a richly illustrated biography complete the overview.
