Anna S. Fisher (1873 - 1942) American
Anna S. Fisher (1873 - 1942) Oil on board, Signed Lower Right, Measures (14 x 10 inches) w/frame (19.5 x 16 inches) an artist and teacher, was well-known and popular in the New York City art community. Her talent, her living and working in the city and her teaching at Pratt Institute for 41 years, allowed her to participate in the major juried exhibitions in the Northeast and associate with artists now better known than she. Her career and works are essentially overlooked and unstudied yet her paintings appeal even today when seen by the public. Pratt celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2012 and had on its web site the top 125 Iconic Works of all time by its faculty and alumni as chosen by thousands of voters. Not only was a Fisher still life among these works, it was one of the most admired. Fisher's paintings are in two distinct and contrasting styles. Her better-known studio oil and watercolor works - flower and vase still lifes - are realistic, subdued and detailed. Often the vases and other objects capture and reflect the studio light
