Margaret Fisher, born in Chicago, Illinois, was an American painter who produced a body of work that was fresh and inventive, and that reflected the vicissitudes of American modernism even while it resisted classification. Margaret was a thoroughly modern woman and a strong-minded individual whose artistic production was of a piece with her energetic support of the visual arts. She was a founding member of the Women’s Board of the Art Institute of Chicago, and served on the Institute’s Trustees Advisory Committee on Prints and Drawings, as well as that for the Twentieth-Century Painting and Sculpture.
