Description

Alfred Pfister, 85, a retired professional artist widely known in the Michiana area, died in 1975.

A former poster artist who originated posters for 101 Ranch Shows and the Hagenbeck-Wallace and John Robinson Circuses, Mr. Pfister had a long career of working primarily in oils and watercolors. He had several one-man invited shows in South Bend, Detroit and Niles, and was a familiar Fgure at other area art shows. After retirement, he taught art in his home studio and in adult education programs of the Niles, Brandywine and Buchanan schools for 16 years.

Mr. Pfister was born Sept. 23, 1889, in Norwood, Ohio,and came to Niles in 1913 as a poster artist with the National Printing and Engraving Co. Except for a three-year residence at Cleveland Ohio, where he studied at the Huntington Polytechnic School of Art, he lived in Niles ever since.

Before coming to Niles, Mr. Pfister worked as a poster artist for the U.S. Litho Co. at Norwood and Otis Litho Co. at Cleveland and studied at the Art Academy at the University of Cincinnati. In about 1945, he turned to water colors to paint waterfront scenes of western Michigan and the New England and Gulf coasts.
