About the Item
Noon Hour. 1935. Etching. Teller 18. 6 7/8 x 4 7/8 (sheet 11 3/8 x 8 1/2). Edition 250 published by Associated American Artists in 1946 (were a few earlier impressions from a proposed edition of 40). Illustrated: Fine Prints of the Year, 1936. A rich impression with plate tone printed on cream laid paper. Signed in pencil by the artist. A member of New York's 14th Street School, Isabel Bishop is best known for her graphic art and urban subject matter. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, she arrived in New York in 1918 at age of 16, where she studied illustration and painting. After marrying Dr. Harold Wolff in 1934, she lived in Riverdale but maintained her studio on Union Square near 14th Street until 1984. Bishop's work shifted focus-in her early artwork she had depicted realistically rendered nudes, but in New York she began to draw, etch, and paint the distinctly urban subject matter that surrounded her. After moving to Union Square in 1926, she became enamored of the area and its inhabitants. Shop girls, straphangers, laborers, and derelicts became her models as they traversed. By capturing their motions and gestures in prints, Bishop produced the walking figures for which she is best known. Bishop taught at the Art Students League as the only female full-time instructor from 1936 to 1937 and also at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, among others. She received awards and prizes including an American Academy of Arts and Letters award (1943), an award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts presented by President Jimmy Carter (1979), and several honorary doctorates. She was the first woman to hold an executive position in the National Institute of Arts and Letters when she became vice-president in 1946.
This print is in many important museum collections including The Smithsonian Museum; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Rhode Island School of Design and the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Isabel Bishop
Isabel Bishop (March 3, 1902 – February 19, 1988) was an American painter and graphic artist. Bishop studied under Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League of New York, where she would later become an instructor. She was most notable for her scenes of everyday life in Manhattan, as a member of the loosely-defined ‘Fourteenth Street School’ of artists, grouped in that precinct. Union Square features prominently in her work, which mainly depicts female figures. Bishop’s paintings won the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, among other distinctions.
