Leonard Everett Fisher: 70 Years an Artist

Works of Leonard Everett Fisher, ’49, MFA ’50

Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, One West 4th Street, New York, NY, 10012-1186 MAP
Pulitzer Prize-winner Leonard Everett Fisher’s prolific career embraces contemporary painting, the illustration of more than 200 books, commissions by the U.S. government to design postage stamps, and work as a World War II map maker. Moving between his lucid visualization of texts to the emotional sphere of painting, his graphic work exemplifies masterful technique while his clarity and delicacy of line sharpens his drawing in works that encompass the Bible, American and Jewish history, and the trajectory of his own life.

Hours:

Monday – Thursday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm;
Friday, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm; 

Website: More info
Open to: General public
Admission: Free
Instructions: Current government issued photo ID required.
