Artist, art educator, and gallery owner. A childhood lisp caused him to pronounce his first name “Dord,” and he began using it officially in 1933. Materials include Fitz’s correspondence, military records, exhibition brochures, newspaper articles, and sales records (1928-1989); as well as his files on artists carried in the Dord Fitz Gallery (1948-1989); records regarding his art students and student art shows at the Dord Fitz School of Art (1951-1980); and other papers reflecting his interests and activities. Notable artists in the collection include Elaine de Kooning, Louise Nevelson, and Charlie Bunnell.
