Boat and Clouds
1967
Here we have another somewhat obscure 20th century artist. I love Bischoff, but there is something somewhat derivative about his art; and, unfortunately, its most likely this second-hand quality that automatically obscures people's appreciation of the novelty and romantic strangeness of Bischoff's art. I've heard him referred to as a lesser Munch, but I'm not quite sure if this is accurate. I think he takes much more after Redon, but I wouldn't call him a lesser Redon for it–why should similarity be the death knell of artistic expression?
