Timeline

1939

Louise Fishman (January 14, 1939 – July 26, 2021) was an American abstract painter from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

For many years she lived and worked in New York City, where she died.

Louise Fishman was born in Philadelphia on January 14, 1939.

1956

She attended the Philadelphia College of Art between 1956 and 1957.

1958

In 1958 she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia.

1960

She exhibited only occasionally in the 1960s, a period in her life when she produced primarily grid-based work.

1965

After being successful at both schools she went on to receive her BFA and BS at the Tyler School of Art in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, and in 1965 she secured her MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign.

1966

Following her MFA, Fishman worked as a library assistant at Cooper from 1966 to 1968, and also served as an adjunct instructor at the college.

Fishman's painting style at first gave her some trouble in being recognized.

1970

During the later 1970s her abstract work was linked with Pattern painting.

As the feminist movement gained strength in the 1970s, Fishman abandoned her minimalist-inspired, grid-like paintings and began making work that reflected women's traditional tasks.

These pieces required the sort of repetitive steps that characterize activities like knitting, piecing, or stitching.

Returning later to the masculine realm of abstract painting, Fishman still sought a way to distinguish what she was doing from the work of male artists, both historic and contemporary.

The resulting compositions combine gestural brushwork with an orderly structure: it is as if Fishman built or wove—her paintings, starting from a foundation and carefully adding to them, layer upon interlocking layer.

1980

In 1980 she was one of the ten invited artists whose work was exhibited in the main event of the Great American Lesbian Art Show.

1985

Large scale works like Grand Slam (1985) and Cinnabar and Malachite (1986) reflected her bold visions, and caused many reviewers to label her work as having elements of neo-expressionism.

1988

In 1988, Fishman accompanied a friend who survived the Holocaust at both Auschwitz and Terezin.

This trip was part of a larger one that took her to Warsaw, Prague, and Budapest.

This trip had a dramatic impact on her life as an artist, altered her way of working, and helped her to "investigate her Jewish identity."

She returned with ashes, cremated human remains – from Auschwitz.

She mixed the ashes with beeswax to use in her paints for the series Remembrance and Renewal.

These paintings served as abstract art as well as memorials to a tragic and obscene event in history.

1990

In the early 1990s she returned to painting grids in a slightly altered format.

1991

This can be seen in works such as Sipapu (1991) and Shadows and Traces (1992)

The organization of Fishman's work derived ultimately from the grid, which was key 35 years ago, is vestigially apparent though less and less important.

Some of the mark-making in the current paintings inclines toward writing, as has been true for around a decade.

2011

In the fall of 2011, Fishman completed her residency at the Emile Harvey Foundation in Venice.

She cited her residency in Venice as an important influence on her most recent work.

Likewise, the work of Venetian artist Titian was an important inspiration during this period of her work.
