This is Monograph No. 2 in the series American Graphic Artists of the Twentieth Century. Una Johnson (1905 April 28, 1997) was an American curator and art historian. She was the head curator of prints and drawings at the Brooklyn Museum for more than 25 years. In 1936 Johnson became assistant curator of prints and drawings at the Brooklyn Museum. In 1937, she oversaw the purchase of a complete set of Francisco Goya's Caprichos print series. In 1941 she was promoted to the Curator position, which she would hold for the next 28 years. Johnson curated many major exhibitions for the Brooklyn Museum, including the first exhibition of the work of art dealer and publisher Ambroise Vollard, the first exhibition of Edvard Munch prints in the United States, the internationally recognized survey American Woodcuts 1670-1950, and New Expressions in Fine Printmaking. In 1947, she curated the Brooklyn Museum's first National Print Exhibition. During her tenure, the Brooklyn Museum made important acquisitions for its print collection, including Daumier, a collection of Japanese prints, and many contemporary European works. She published numerous books and monographs about printmaking, focusing on artists like Georges Rouault, Isabel Bishop, and Adja Yunkers. 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. Bishop began her art education at the age of 12 in a Saturday morning life drawing class at the John Wicker Art School in Detroit. In 1918, at the age of 15, Bishop graduated high school and began art studies at John Wicker's art school in Detroit, Michigan. She later moved to New York City to study illustration at the New York School of Applied Design for Women. After two years there she shifted from illustration to painting, and attended the Art Students League for four years until 1924. It was there that she studied with Guy Pène du Bois and with Kenneth Hayes Miller, from whom she adapted a technique which owed much to baroque Flemish painting. In addition, she learned from other early modernists including Max Weber and Robert Henri. During the early 1920s she also studied and painted in Woodstock, New York. In 1963, she went to Yale University School of Fine Arts, New Haven. For the first time that she taught at The Art Students League in New York, she was the only full time woman teacher in that school. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s she developed a realist style of painting, primarily depicting women in their daily routine on the streets of Manhattan. Her work was greatly influenced by Peter Paul Rubens and other Dutch and Flemish painters that she had discovered during trips to Europe. In 1932, Bishop began showing her work frequently at the newly opened Midtown Galleries, where her work would be represented throughout her career. Bishop takes inspiration from Rubens by adding a light ochre-ish tone to all her works, allowing for the painting to be rendered in any way. In 1934, Bishop married Dr. Harold G. Wolff, a neurologist, and moved to Riverdale New York. However, she continued to work in a loft studio near Union Square at 9 West Fourteenth St, which she continued to use until 1984. She became interested in the interaction of form and ground and the mobility of everyday life, what she called "unfixity", life and movement captured on canvas. Her style is noted for its sensitive modeling of form and "a submarine pearliness and density of atmosphere". During this time, Bishop began working in various printing techniques, most notably aquatint. Her work was included in the first three iterations of the Whitney Biennial in 1932, 1934, and 1936, as well as ten subsequent annual exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art. In 1940, Bishop was elected into the National Academy of Design as an associate member, and became a full member in 1941. Her work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics. She was also a member of and frequently shown her work in the Society of American Graphic Artists exhibitions. Bishop's mature works mainly depict the inhabitants of New York's Union Square area. Her portraits are often studies of individual heads; the emphasis securely on the subject's expression or of solitary nudes. Bishop also painted multiple-figure compositions, often containing two females engaged in various workday interactions. In the post-war years, Bishop's interest turned to more abstracted scenes of New Yorkers walking and traveling, in the streets or on the subways. The first retrospective exhibition of Bishop's work was held during her lifetime at the University of Arizona Museum of Art in 1974.

SYLVAN COLE'S OWN COMPLETE SET OF THE FOUR BISHOP PORTFOLIOS HE PUBLISHED (AS DIRECTOR OF ASSOCIATED AMERICAN ARTISTS AND LATER AS OWNER OF THE SYLVAN COLE GALLERY), WITH A TOTAL OF 32 ORIGINAL ETCHINGS BY ISABEL BISHOP, 16 SIGNED IN PENCIL AND 16 WITH A STAMPED SIGNATURE. Cole, the dean of American print dealers, was a close friend of Bishop's and supervised the compilation of Teller's catalogue raisonne of her prints. He kept these portfolios in his private collection until his death. ***** Four portfolios, each containing eight original etchings by Bishop, each in its own folder. Each portfolio is from a total edition of 60, all printed on fine Rives wove paper. ***** The first portfolio (1981) is copy number 2 (signed by Bishop under the justification), copy number 1 having been given to the artist. ***** The second portfolio (1985) is one of only 7 sets of artist's proofs, with a signed presentation inscription from the artist to Sylvan Cole. ***** The third and fourth portfolios (1989) are the unique sets of bons à tirer (BATs). Since the BATs must be printed before the prints can be editioned, THESE ARE THE VERY FIRST PROOFS PRINTED. ***** Folio. Loose as issued. FINE AND BRIGHT, with no defects. In the original cloth clamshell cases (a little trivial wear to two of the cases). ***** IMPORTANT NOTE: During March, 2006, hundreds of prints represented as being from "the Sylvan Cole collection" were sold at public auction. In fact, ALL of these items were from his leftover gallery inventory, not his private collection. As far as I know, the few items I offer from Sylvan's collection are the ONLY items anywhere on the market which are actually from his private collection (which he kept in his apartment, not his gallery). I acquired them all directly from Sylvan (my uncle), mainly in spring, 2005.
