Untitled (Ice Fishing)
February 6, 2011
Born 1898 in Chertiz, Austria-Hungary, Stephan Chizmarik studied at the Detroit School of Fine Arts with John Walker. Primarily a painter of landscapes, Chizmarik exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and The Art Institute of Chicago. Depicting an idyllic winter scene featuring a setting that could represent any one of our region?s system of inset lakes, Chizmarik uses bright, colorful accents to heighten the spirit of a leisurely day on the ice. Chizmarik died in 1972 in Michigan..
