| 87 | Adelie Landis Bischoff | Adelie | Bischoff | F | Adelie Landis worked as a psychiatric nurse at McLean Hospital from 1947 to 1948, before she moved to California to pursue a career in art. Landis Bischoff was considered an artist of the San Francisco Abstract Expressionist movement, but she also worked in the Bay Area Figurative Movement. "I never got into the drip and blob," she later said of expressionism. "I think it took more nerve than I had at the time." Landis Bischoff's work was exhibited in San Francisco and New York in 2006, in Belmont in 2012, and included in a 2014 show, "Beauty Fierce as Stars, Groundbreaking Women Painters 1950s and Beyond" in Berkeley, California. Landis Bischoff's home was burned in the Oakland firestorm of 1991. The fire destroyed thousands of her and her late husband's drawings, photographs, notebooks, and diaries. "It was a kind of epiphany. I felt a surge of freedom to just leave it, to walk out and leave everything," she recalled later. She built a new home in Oakland, designed by architect Stanley Saitowitz, and continued painting and exhibiting new works into her late eighties. | Adelie Landis married fellow artist Elmer Nelson Bischoff in 1962. Their son, David Bischoff, became a sculptor and writer. She was widowed when Elmer died from cancer in 1991; she died in 2019, aged 93 years, in Berkeley. Works by Adelie Landis Bischoff are held in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Library of Congress, Bryn Mawr College, and the University of California Art Museum. | Adelie Landis worked as a psychiatric nurse at McLean Hospital from 1947 to 1948, before she moved to California to pursue a career in art.
