Description

Raven, watercolor on handmade paper

33 x 24 cm

from the collection of the Atelier Fritz Hug

Creation year

1981

This watercolor once again shows Fritz’s mastery of brush and watercolor. A few strokes of black ink and a few dabs of blue watercolor, but an almost perfect rendition of this legendary bird. In popular belief, it stands for bad luck and bad parenting (raven parents, raven mother); probably because of its gloomy appearance, crowing voice and habit of eating carrion, the clever bird is not very popular.
