Bishop, Isabel. PUTTING ON JACKET #2. T.1448. Drawing, black ink on card. Circa 1943. 7 3/4 x 4 1/2 inches. Signed in pencil. Inscribed with the title and dimensions, verso, and also with fragmentary sketches, verso (card cut down from a larger piece). The putting-on and taking off of clothing is a recurrent theme in Bishop's work. This drawing is closely related to a drawing titled "Putting on the Jacket" illustrated as Plate 51 in "Isabel Bishop" by Karl Lunde, Abrams, NY, 1975, and in "Isabel Bishop" by Helen Ygesias, Rizzili, NY, 1989, p.106. In excellent condition.
