Richard E. Bishop (1887-1975)
Back Bay - In Currituck Sound, 1939
signed and dated "Richard E Bishop 1939 lower left
oil on canvas, 30 by 25 in.
inscribed "Back Bay - In Currituck Sound / Richard E. Bishop Copyrighted / 1939" on back
Born in Syracuse, New York, Bishop developed a passion for waterfowl while hunting with his father. He graduated from Cornell University in 1909, and later spent four years in the military. In 1920 upon moving to Philadelphia, where he worked at a copper manufacturing plant, Bishop's career as an artist began. He picked up a discarded piece of copper plate, covered it with wax, and created his first etching. Four years later, in 1924, he won the Charles M. Lea Prize at the Philadelphia Print Club for his work "Canada Geese.
Bishop was a member of the Philadelphia Printmakers Club, the Philadelphia Sketch Club, the Philadelphia Watercolor Club, and the Philadelphia Art Alliance. Bishop wrote and illustrated "Bishop's Birds" and in 1948 he produced "Bishop's Waterfowl." In 1962, he collaborated with Edgar M. Queeny on "Prairie Wings." The artwork in Bishop's books are superb renderings of birds in their natural habitat, for he was able to capture the fluidity of a bird's flight and recreate detailed landscapes in the background. He was a highly energetic and enthusiastic individual. His passion for wildlife helped him to produce images that were both life-like and accurate. Bishop's work is held in the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Everson Museum, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
