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.
Presented by the Irma L. and Abram S. Croll Center for Jewish Learning and Culture, with the support of George,
z"l, and Mildred Weissman, and Cantor Mimi Frishman and Rabbi Louis Frishman.
