Press Release

On view in the Drawing Gallery is a group of figure drawing from the early 1960s by the Bay Area figurative artist Elmer Bischoff (1916-1991). The four drawings of female models, rapidly worked ink or charcoal studies as well as one more carefully modulated watercolor and gouache, were all made during the weekly drawing sessions held in Alvin Light’s Montgomery Street (San Francisco) studio which also included such artists as Richard Diebenkorn, David Park and Paul Wonner.
