An announcement of phenomenal significance was made in Saskatoon recently, about bringing original Picasso art to the future Art Gallery of Saskatchewan. The name Picasso is enough to make anyone take notice, but the type of art that was the topic, the Linocut, was also very intriguing.
This method of print making, in Fritz's case, from motifs cut into wood or linoleum, was also a favorite medium, especially in the 1960s, when the Stehwiens lived in southern Germany. The motifs of the medieval village were many, and lent themselves perfectly to 'painting' with cut lines, instead of a brush stroke. Experimenting with colors and materials often really enhanced the look as well.
