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.
Similar to the Swedish painter Carl Larsson, Paul Fischer painted genre pictures that showed everyday life in the country, at the sea or in the city. He became known early on through his nude paintings. Besides the lifelike depiction of everyday scenes of public streets, market places and the theatre, he devoted himself to the popular interior painting. This genre deals with the representation of domestic scenes. Paul Fischer produced paintings that provide insights into the private world. Today's viewer thus gains an interesting insight into the everyday life of people in the late 19th century and at the turn of the 20th century. Fischer's depictions of urban life show the incipient impulsiveness and restlessness of modernity. Idyllic scenes mix in his work with the restlessness and liveliness of the growing cities. In his paintings Fischer captures a world that was lost at the beginning of the First World War. Besides numerous paintings, Paul Fischer also successfully created posters, which he painted in the style of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. He was fascinated by the modern painting style of the French artist.
Paul Gustav Fischer was very interested in the new technique of photography. He saw the modern medium of photography as a suitable model for his pictures. He refined his painting style with the help of the snapshots captured in the photographs. He used the photographic templates for the realistic representation of his picture scenes. Paul Fischer's painting style was strongly influenced by French avant-garde artists and the Scandinavian naturalists. The painter also produced numerous graphics and book illustrations. He died in 1934 in the village of Gentofte, near Copenhagen.
