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.
