HUGO FISHER

 

 

HUGO FISHER, of San Francisco, was born in Bohemia, Austria, in 1853, a son of Felix Fisher, and artist of note, and who is still living, at the age of seventy-one years. Young Hugo was reared and educated in his native place, and, inheriting his talent for art, he began taking lessons of his father at an early age, thus enjoying excellent advantages. He afterward pursued his art studies in Prague, the capital of Bohemia, and after reaching manhood he came to New York, and remained there until 1886, when he came to San Francisco and opened a studio, and since then, for the past five years, has met with deserved success, devoting much attention to landscape and animal painting. His work has received favorable mention, finding places in this city and also in galleries of Eastern cities, and in Europe, and received the silver medal at Sacramento in 1891.
