The living room Wall Art

The Danish painter Paul Gustav Fischer was born in Copenhagen in 1860. He came from a family of artists, as his father had already trained as a painter and turned his back on traditional commercial training. He gave painting lessons to his son Paul and supported his son's ambition to become an artist as well. Paul Fischer first trained in a terracotta factory and in 1876 changed to the academy of arts. There he took drawing lessons. After two years he broke off his academic studies and travelled to various European countries. He got to know Germany, Italy and France and was interested in all the new art movements of his time. Fischer first became known through the publication of big city scenes in various Danish magazines. Over the years Paul Fischer became more and more involved with painting. His colour palette was initially dark, but changed after a stay in Paris, where he looked at the paintings of important French artists. Fischer's paintings gained in colour. At first the artist only painted city views. He deepened his artistic techniques and at the turn of the century he frequently painted street scenes, idyllic bathing and beach scenes and sea motives. Interesting snapshots emerged, with which the artist celebrated his first successes. Collectors from Scandinavia, England and America appreciated Fischer's painting style and bought many of his paintings.
