For over sixty years, Alison Mason Kingsbury (1898-1989) made Ithaca her home and artistic muse. She was a dedicated twentieth century artist, when to be such with any seriousness as a women in Central New York was a true challenge. And serious she was, producing a remarkable body of work, ranging from commissioned murals to grand regionalist depictions of the Finger Lakes area to small abstract collages.

A. M. K. was an active member of the Cornell University community through her husband, renowned Romance languages professor Morris Bishop, and her own energetic engagement in forwarding artistic activity on campus through exhibitions and lectures. This on-line collection of her artwork draws upon the Alison Mason Kingsbury papers, held by Cornell Library's Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, as well as the collections of The History Center in Tompkins County and numerous private owners.
