Young Chamois – Osez!, oil on canvas
60 x 50 cm
From the collection Nideröst
Creation year
1983 – 85
The picture does not simply show a young chamois, but a young animal that is perhaps trying to cross a mountain stream on its own for the first time. This is also how the title of the work should be understood: “Osez”! “Dare to do something”!, or perhaps “ Take courage”! Fritz, who suffered from depression for years, often added such encouraging mottoes to his paintings, presumably as motivation for himself
