Description
Bathing at the Beach on Elba, oil on canvas
55 x 38 cm
From the collection of the Atelier Fritz Hug
Creation year
1964
Before the 1968 national exhibition in Lausanne, Fritz was still not well known and was dependent on patrons. Nelly and René Meyer from Baden were fans from the very beginning. They owned a beautiful modern beach house on Elba, below Capoliveri, where the whole Hug family was invited several times. The picture shows the Children, Barbara, Christoph and Annatina, bathing at the beach near the house, and it is painted in an impressionist style: The artist’s immediate visual perception has been captured on the canvas for the viewer’s eyes.
