This show of Adelie Landis Bischoff's work is more a study than
a survey.
It is a small selection of paintings spanning the artists' career
from the
mid 1950's to the present and includes both abstract and figurative
examples. She studied at the California School of Fine Arts in
1951/52 and
is know for being an early member of the San Francisco Abstract
Expressionist movement. (She was active in the Beat era and showed
at the
King Ubu Gallery.) Adelie eventually departed from abstraction
for the Bay
Area Figurative style. She has consistently explored both kinds
of painting
through the years.
Adelie was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and obtained
a Master's
degree in Art from the University of California in Berkeley in
1959. She
has exhibited her work in one-person and group shows in the Bay
Area and in
New York. She was a Campbell Gallery "Introductions" artist
in 1975. A
survey exhibition of her work is at the Salander-O'Reilly
Gallery in New
York, September 7 - 30, 2006; a catalog with an essay by Bill
Berkson is
available.
