Pasatiempo featured Ethel Fisher's Interior Fireplace and Piano (Will Barnet's Class), 1945  from the exhibition "Portraits of the Sublime" in their May 3, 2024 publication.

Ethel Fisher: Portraits of the Sublime, inaugurates LewAllen Galleries’ exclusive representation of this truly outstanding artist’s work and its initial exhibition focusing on her figurative paintings. 

These works include distinctive large-scale portraiture of prominent people from her social circle including most especially well-known artists of her time, such as the renowned American painter Will Barnet, the Abstract Expressionist Alice Baber, modernist painter Henry Pearson, painter and photographer Martha Alf, collagist Ilse Getz, among many others. These works have an alluring purity to them, a sense of near ethereal mystery and profound psychological intensity set against background fields of color that confer deep contemplative engagement.
