He lived, studied and worked in New Jersey for his entire life. A master at watercolor and oil his work consisted of, in his own words, "everyday subjects that are available to most of us--street scenes, back yards, trees, old houses, etc. I looked for them in front of houses, in backyards, public parks, and elsewhere." He also painted numerous harbor and fishing village scenes, such as this scene of Cape Ann Harbor. His work demonstrated a sense of place and feeling that most could identify with. Gasser studied at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art and the Grand Central School of Art as well as at the Art Students League of New York in the classes of Robert Bracman. He later studied privately under John R. Grabach. He is represented in over fifty museum collections and numerous important private ones as well.
