    Orville Fisher, Deer in Stanley Park Vancouver, BC 19/200

    Est: $750 - $1,000

    Born in Vancouver in 1911, Fisher studied at the Vancouver School of Art under painter Fred Varley. After graduation he formed an artistic partnership with fellow Vancouver artists, E.J. Hughes and Paul Goranson. Together, they completed murals for the Malaspina Hotel in Nanaimo and for the B.C. Pavilion at the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco. When the Second World War broke out in 1939, Fisher joined as a private in the Royal Canadian Engineers. However, after realizing his artistic talents, Fisher was transferred to officer training and made an official war artist. On June 6th, 1944, Fisher was the only Allied war artist to take part in the D-Day invasion of Normandy. He sketched 246 images in theatre that he later turned into a powerful series of oil paintings and watercolours. The series is now housed in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. After the war, Fisher returned to Vancouver where he began a teaching career at the Vancouver School of Art and continued his work as a muralist, graphic artist, and painter. However, it was the work he completed during and after the war years that is his most enduring. Fisher died in July 1999 at 88 years old in Langley, B.C.
