BIRDCATCHER

Mixed media art from the Victor G. Fischer Art Company of Washington, DC - 1912

 

Mr. Victor G. Fischer was an influential figure in the Art life of Washington DC, where he drew to his Galleries the Art loving public, not only of Washington but visitors to the Capital from the country at large. In spirit and training Mr. Fisher was first the collector and amateur, with enthusiasm and deep love for Works of Art and only a dealer by vocation. With his wide acquaintance with Artists and the collectors in Europe and America he has gathered a large and varied collection of paintings covering all schools and periods.

 

In 1911, the dissolution of the V.G. Fischer Art Company led him to give up his Washington Galleries and the entire property of the Company was sold on February 19, 1912 by The Anderson Galleries.

 

The mixed media museum piece is a painting of a bird catcher, inlaid with real feathers and real botanical accent pieces.
