Eva Fischer

Eva Fischer (Daruvar, 19 November 1920 – Rome, 7 July 2015) was a Croatia-born Italian artist who worked in oils, watercolours, engraving and lithography.

[3] Fischer was apprended in Belgrade and interned with her mother and her younger brother in the Vallegrande prison camp on the Croatian island of Korčula, then under the administration of Fascist Italy.

She began to collaborate with the “Partito d’Azione” (a Resistance movement against the Nazi occupation) and met with Partisan Wanda Varotti[4] and Massimo Massei.

She moved to Paris, where she lived for a long time in Saint Germain des Près and befriended Marc Chagall and Ossip Zadkine.

In 1992 Italian composer Ennio Morricone[7] wrote and recorded music for one of her exhibitions, later to be collected in the album/exhibition catalogue A Eva Fischer, pittore.
