As a depicter of rural life, Mark Fisher, who is a primitive amongst moderns, has no equals, and he combines the requirements of the higher and more dramatic genre with those of painting decorative in the higher sense. His picture purchased for the Sydney Gallery is a touching little poem of English Homestead life, splendid in repose, force, and truth, and strongly impressed with the intense and singularly sympathetic personality of the artist. He is also a consistent plein air artist. Other well known works of his are "The Potato Gatherers", "English Oaks", "Uplands", and a "Berkshire Mill".
