Emmett John Fritz (1917 - 1995) American
Emmett John Fritz (1917 - 1995) Oil on canvasboard, signed lower left, measures (16 x 20 inches) w/frame (20 x 24 inches) The painter and illustrator professionally known as Emmett John Fritz (born John Emmett Fritz) was born on October 13, 1917 in Kansas City, Missouri. He studied art at Pratt Institute in New York graduating in 1937. Pratt Institute is a higher-learning graduate institution built with a focus on the fine arts, engineering, and architecture. Fritz also worked with Norman Rockwell for a brief period, becoming a known magazine and newspaper cartoonist for a comic strip called Roxie West, as well as an illustrator, before a move to Florida in 1950. Florida was a popular destination for many professionals because of commercial aspects surrounding tourism and for the State’s natural and exotic beauty. In Florida, Fritz discovered the city of St. Augustine. He also became committed to serious easel painting and watercolor at this time. His primary subjects were the St. Augustine landscape, capturing scenes of everyday life
