About the artist:
Born in Washington state, Earl Biss became a well-known Native American artist. He was raised by his grandmother on the Crow reservation in Montana and earned a scholarship to the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe where he studied jewelry design. He attended the San Francisco Art Institute and then traveled widely in Europe where he was heavily influenced by the impressionist style of Monet and other European artists.
His paintings have a dream-like, abstract quality with Indian figures merging with the landscape. He worked on numerous paintings, sometimes as many as twenty, simultaneously. On October 18, 1998, he died from a stroke while in his studio painting.
• 1965 - 1966 Studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Was a member of the inaugural class. The IAIA was founded in 1962.
• Studied under Fritz Scholder, Charles Loloma, Alan Houser and John Chamberlain.
• 1966 - 1972 Studied at the San Francisco Art Institute.
• At the outset of his career, Biss's studio was in Santa Fe, and his contemporaries included Kevin Red Star, Doug Hyde, T.C. Cannon, Bruce King, Chuck Goodwin, Pete Jones, Dan Namingha, Harry Fonseca, Bob Haozous, Gordon Van Wirt, Don Chunestudey, Cliff Fragua and Bill Prokopiof.
• Their works of art were bold and innovative, informed rather than limited by their intrinsic awareness of their heritage. They created the phenomenon that became known as Contemporary Southwest Art.
• The names of a dozen or more of these trailblazers have passed into legend now, but none shines more brightly than Earl Biss.
• One of Biss's first solo exhibits in a major contemporary gallery was with Elaine Horwitch in Scottsdale in 1975. Not only did his paintings sell on their own merits, but Biss had launched his reputation as a "personality". The collectors bought out the show on opening day!
• His paintings and his life reached back to a time that was wild and free. Less than a hundred years before his lifetime, his ancestors had roved the Great Plains, and it was from these legends that he drew not only his primary subject but his primal energy. He painted an unending cascade of warriors. He was like a prairie fire roaring through the grass of the High Plains. Earl Biss existed to paint. He left a brilliant trail of paintings that had a profound impact on American art.

"Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco" Multi Layer Screen Print on Paper - Signed
Rare and bold Screen Print (Silk Screen) of Fisherman's Wharf 1957 by Gordon Cope (American, 1906-1999). Several boats are docked at Fisherman's Wharf, with buildings directly behind them. In the distance, the hills of San Francisco can be seen meeting a pale blue sky. Of particular note is the skillful representation of the reflections of the boats in the water, and the clever use of grey paper as negative space.

Hand signed and dated in pencil in the lower right corner "Gordon Cope 1957"
Titled, signed, and dated "in plate"

Gordon N. Cope (American, 1906-1999) was an educator and painter. Trained in Utah and France, he exhibited his landscape paintings and portraits in the United States and Europe, and he believed music was related to painting.
Cope was born on May 14, 1906, in Salt Lake City. He was trained by Utahn artists LeConte Stewart and Lawrence Squires, and at the Académie Julian in Paris, France in 1928. He also studied singing at the Opéra-Comique.
Cope taught art at Latter-day Saints University, and he served as the chair of its Department of Art in 1930–1931. He taught at the Mountain School of Art from 1932 to 1938, and he was the director of the Art Barn School in Salt Lake City in 1939–1941. Cope painted Utahn landscapes as well as a portrait of Henry H. Blood, who served as the seventh governor of Utah from 1933 to 1941. Cope exhibited his work in the United States and Europe. According to the Deseret News, Cope "felt that music and painting are closely interrelated, and that the study of one form may be used to complement the appreciation and understanding of the other."
Cope died on June 10, 1999, in San Francisco, California.
Gordon Nicholson Cope studied with well-known Utah artists A.B. Wright and LeConte Stewart, and became recognized as a major Utah artist of the Great Depression. Cope was born in Salt Lake City in 1906 and spent much of his life in Utah.
Cope gained much of his artistic training from diverse environments and influences. Following his training with the previously mentioned artists, Cope spent the next year, 1924, working with Lawrence Squires in Arizona. To expand his knowledge and training, Cope traveled to Europe, where he studied the "old masters" such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. From 1924 to 1928, Cope studied in England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and worked for a year at the Acadamie Julian, where many early Utah artists...
