TWO PRINTS AFTER DRAWINGS BY HARRISON FISCHER

TWO PRINTS AFTER DRAWINGS BY HARRISON FISCHER

Two cutouts mounted on paper from the vintage prints after drawings by famous American illustrator Harrison Fisher (1875–1934) depicting ladies with their dogs titled Final Instructions and On the Avenue. Both framed. Harrison Fisher was a commercial artist from New York. He was known as The Father of a Thousand Girls and did extensive work for Cosmopolitan magazine. In 1898, he moved back to New York and began his career as a newspaper and magazine illustrator, working for the San Francisco Call and the San Francisco Examiner, drawing sketches and decorative work. He became known particularly for his drawings of women, which won him acclaim as the successor of Charles Dana Gibson. Together with fellow artists Howard Chandler Christy and Neysa McMein, he constituted the Motion Picture Classic magazine, Fame and Fortune contest jury of 1921/1922, who discovered the It-girl, Clara Bow. Fisher's work appeared regularly on the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine from the early 1900s until his death.
