Winter Landscape Near Kloten

Fritz began painting in the 1940s, and his oldest paintings date from this period, such as this winter landscape near Kloten. The painting must be seen as a historical document, because at that time Kloten was a small farming settlement. Since the airport opened in 1949, Kloten has developed into a town with 23,000 inhabitants and around 40,000 jobs. The scene depicted in the painting is most likely no longer to be found.
