Exchanging Hats: Paintings
by Elizabeth Bishop
On This Page
Description
Thought not many people know it, Elizabeth Bishop painted throughout her life, as this handsome book, reproducing in full color forty of her watercolors, demonstrates. Benton gives the provenance, dimensions, and (where possible) the date of each painting; he also cites painterly passages from Bishop's writing.Tags

A treasure. Paintings by the poet Elizabeth Bishop: landscapes, architectural and interior studies, still lifes, all wondrous. With a spirited, erudite introduction by the book's devoted editor, William Benton, and a section of Bishop's "painterly" prose.
