AMSTERDAM –

His subjects, style and materials exchanged throughout his career around. Plants and animals remained are great sources of inspiration. Fisher died this weekend in southern France, where he lived. He was 86 years

His first pictures were expressionist (such as Dying Horse, 1949). Then he abstracted nature motifs in iron (including sparing birds, 1953) and then he made totally abstract “double form ‘and’ salami images. The cube was in the 60s, his main support in all kinds of materials.

Twenty years later he left the geometric shapes for what they were and went on to images of feathers, shells, wool, sand, rope and timber. He also started using found objects like tires, windows and beams. Work by Carel Visser is included in the collections of museums in the Netherlands and abroad
