My friend Jean Fisher, who has died aged 74, was one of the most distinctive British writers on art of her generation. Jean was born in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, daughter of Eric Warner, a merchant seaman, and his wife, Mary (nee Smith). In 1963 she married Tony Fisher; they had a son, Tony, and separated in the 70s. Jean was also an important enabler of other writers, particularly during a 10-year stint from 1989 at the journal Third Text, much of it spent as editor. Jean is survived by her son, Tony, and by two grandchildren, Beatrice and Matilda.
