Born in Munich, Fischer was orphaned at an early age and reared in an orphanage. At 15 he escaped study for the priesthood and ran away to sea. His life as an artist was both interesting and
accomplished - Fischer produced more than 1000 illustrations. In 1942 he was asked to serve as official war artist by the US Coast Guard.
Fischer was extremely prolific in a variety of subjects, but is remembered most for his superb marine paintings. He was known for his technical accuracy, strong, tight compositions, and masterful portrayal of men's emotions.

Anton Otto Fischer (1882-1962)
