 The
Portrait Artist in his Studio!
Here you see Michael Fischer, the portrait artist, working on the Portrait of
Mr. and Mrs. Dorrer in his New York studio.
"I have always been fascinated with people's faces. From early
childhood on, I was drawing and drawing!
I am especially attracted to the formal portraits of the Renaissance
period. The portrait artist had overcome the struggle with form and
was able to concentrate on texture."
Michael Fischer is not only an accomplished portrait artist. He has
established himself through solo and group shows of his 'independent'
