Paul Gustave Fischer (1860-1934) was from Copenhagen, Denmark. The family originally came from Poland. Fischer began to paint at a young age, guided by his father.

He has painted immense number of subjects from landscapes, portraits, human beings, beach scenes and nudes, in oil and watercolour. But he was famous for his simple views of streets with everyday life of Scandinavia, Italy and Germany.

His portrayal of human beings on beaches, streets, or as figurative art were natural. In the beginning the scenes were set in overcast winter weather with darker tones, but after a stay in Paris from 1891–1895, his colours became warm and light. He has drawn scenes in all weathers, snow, rains and lighting conditions overcast, sunny and late evening twilight.

Sunday Feature on ART of Architecture -Gautam Shah

Edvard Weie (1879-1943) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is now regarded as one of the most important colorists of the Danish modernism. He was also inspired by the works of great historical painters. He began with a naturalistic manner, but soon embraced the modernist approach, with emphasis on colours of warm palette and play between light and shadow. He initially worked with ‘subject matter from mythological and literary sources while also working with figure compositions springing entirely from his own imagination’.

Weie was strongly influenced by the visit to Italy and Paris, where he came into contact with French impressionists such as, Cézanne. After returning to Denmark in 1912, he spent a period on the small island of Christiansø near Bornholm. He was one of the earliest participants in the Bornholm school of painters. These artists, each developed an individualistic style, full of experimentation.
