Summer Travelers, No. 2 1958

Isabel Bishop's 1958 etching, "Summer Travelers, No. 2", captures a fleeting moment in urban life. The artist's signature focus on the human form is evident in this work, which depicts two women standing on a crowded city street. The central figures are drawn with a dynamic, expressive line, and the details of their clothing and hairstyles are rendered with precise accuracy. The composition is masterful in its use of negative space, with the women's figures standing out against the backdrop of a bustling city. The print, part of a series of "Summer Travelers" etchings, is an example of Bishop's mastery of this printmaking technique and her skill in capturing the essence of modern life.
