Abstract painting by Eva Fischer (b. 1920). 'In the sixties, Eva Fischer was in London, where she exhibited in the Lefevre Gallery, the most exclusive Gallery in the “city” where the Italian painter Modigliani had been allowed to show his last one man exhibition. Lefevre Gallery exhibited Eva’s paintings especially for her “Mediterranean colours and the Italian spirit” of her canvases. Eva Fischer’s world is made of short trips, wherever her talent is called for: from Israel, where she painted the wonderful canvases of Jerusalem and Hebron (her stained glass in the Jewish Museum in Rome are very famous), to the United States, where she has numerous collectors and estimators (like the actors Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Henry Fonda). In 1992 the Italian composer Ennio Morricone, famed for movie soundtracks, composed music for one of Eva's exhibitions.' {source: wikipedia} (Key Word Search: Abstract Expressionism, Naive, Basquiat, Outsider, Pastel, Dubuffet)
