*****************

To quote the NMAI (Nat'l Museum of American Illustration) ~

Harrison Fisher made a name for himself in the history of American illustration due to his uncanny ability to paint beautiful women.

His 'Fisher Girl' and, more importantly his 'American Girl', was recognized as the epitome of feminine beauty in America during the first quarter of the 20th century. She was lithe, elegant and beautiful, but also athletic, independent, and intelligent.

Cosmopolitan magazine in the 1920’s called Harrison Fisher, "The World’s Greatest Artist" saying that "There is an underlying ideal that dominates his paintings. His ideal type has come to be regarded as the type of American beauty: girls, young with the youth of a new country, strong with the vitality of buoyant good health, fresh with clear-eyed brightness, athletic, cheerful, sympathetic, and beautiful."

They went on to say, "'The American Girl' is practical, adventuresome, active, and above all, attractive. No one can portray more of this attractiveness than Harrison Fisher."
