Family projects

Timeless Christmas message in linocut.

With Fritz being very much a family man, it's great to rummage through boxes of his childrens' art. His four children often went on painting excursions with him, and also had the privilege to learn many of his techniques, including printmaking. These 3 examples of linocuts were made in the 1960s, with his son and daughters ranging in age from about 7 to 13 at the time. With the challenges of a chisel and linoleum, versus a crayon and paper, these pieces turned out quite successful, and are definitely worth keeping.
