Breaking the Code: Vernon Fisher
Send us a text
Vernon Fisher (1943–2023) was a multimedia artist born in Fort Worth, Texas. He earned a BA in English literature from Hardin–Simmons University in 1967 and an MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign in 1969. He moved back to Texas and taught at Austin College and later at University of North Texas. Best known for his paintings that resemble chalk on a school blackboard, Fisher created visual narratives combining language and images—often with incongruous elements added.
In 2023, Michael Flanagan made Breaking the Code a biographical documentary about Fisher. Today's episode is a brief conversation about that film.
