Adam Fischer (sculptor)

Adam Fischer (28 July 1888 in Copenhagen – 18 January 1968 in Ordrup) was a Danish sculptor, an early contributor of works inspired by Cubism.

After attending Vermehren's drawing school until 1908, Fischer studied painting at the Danish Academy (1908–1913) under Viggo Johansen but as a sculptor he was largely self-taught.

They include Ellen Fischer (walnut, 1917) and Fransk Soldat (limestone, 1918), depicting a soldier with a face made up of two halves, each with its own expression.

Another early work which shows his appreciation of "the moment" is his bronze statuette Fodboldspiller (Football Player, 1915), an unusual subject for sculpture.

His interest in ceramic glazes can be seen in a series titled Ung pige fra Kreta (Young girl from Crete).
