Orange Sweater 1955

"Orange Sweater" (1955) by Elmer Bischoff (1916-1991) is a painting that features a woman in a bright orange sweater seated at a table, her back to the viewer. The composition is dominated by a large window on the left, showcasing a view of green foliage and a glimpse of a cloudy sky. The painting's muted color palette of grays, greens, and yellows creates a sense of quietude and introspection, characteristic of Bischoff's style, often referred to as "Bay Area Figurative" painting.
