Nice to see these images. Frits was a very dear family friend and an artist in every aspect of his life. Eccentric, opinionated, joyful, talented, passionate, intelligent and wise, religious, giving… a gnome if ever one appeared in humanesque form. Seemingly a luddite. A Medievalist. Did the most incredible Medieval art as well. We sang in the St. James Church choir together and on carolling excursions. He made the best spiced hot chocolate. His otherworldly flat in Chinatown was a magic place. It was stacked to the rafters with his collections, all manner of lightbulbs, floor to ceiling bookshelves just wide enough to squeeze through, large bugs he made flying around. A true original and a delight. He is missed.

My mum, Nancy Walton worked with him and created costumes for a Pageant that was held in the church during the Faeyre.

I visited Fritz in his apartment in Chinatown, fluffy cats and little coloured glass bottles in the windows and classical music playing. A talented and pleasant man.

I have some of his early work. -a limited print, and a pen and ink sketch-of me.
