Description
The Water Vendor Gerrab, oil on canvas
46 x 66 cm
From the collection Detlefson Anlageberatung / Matthias Dudler
Creation year
1940s
The Detlefson collection contains some very old works by Fritz. This picture, probably painted in Morocco in the late 1940s, shows a water vendor. The style is modern for the period, neither Gerrab nor the surroundings are depicted as they actually were, but as they appeared in the midday swelter of summer in the middle of Marrakesh: Everything blurs a little in the shimmering heat.
