From Chapter 8
Bishop painted this portrait of her friend “Sha-Sha,” Charlotte Russell, in Naples, Florida, three years before she first traveled to Brevard with her. Bishop’s composition poses many intriguing questions, from the odd equation (“1 + 4 = 7”) to the contrast between Charlotte’s impressionistic face and the detailed patterns of her shirt and the wood paneling in the background.
