Janet Fish is an American realist painter known for her colorful still-life paintings. With particular attention to transparency and reflective light, Fish often chooses glass, plastic-wrapped fruit, or mirrors as her subject matter, rendered in precise calligraphic brushstrokes. “The real structure of the painting comes from the movement of color and light across the entire surface,” she has said of her work. “What matters is the complex relationship of color and form from one area of the painting to another. Eventually everything is intertwined.” Born on May 18, 1938 in Boston, MA, she studied printmaking and sculpture at Smith College, and painting under Alex Katz at Yale School of Art where she received her MFA in 1963.
