Emmett Fritz
Emmett John Fritz was born in Kansas on October 13, 1917 and died in 1995. Mr. Fritz is listed in "Who Was Who in American Art" and "Davenport." He studied at Pratt Institute in 1937. In 1950, Fritz moved to St. Augustine, Florida. He joined the Lost Colony in December 1950, and quickly became a local favorite. This was the time when the St. Augustine Art Association started the annual “Art Marts” around Christmas time. These outdoor art shows were supported by the local merchants as they brought foot traffic to the city.
Fritz is represented in Lightner Museum and many other and collections including the collection of King Juan Carlos of Spain. He painted in the tradition of late 19th and 20th landscapes and cityscapes plus Caribbean Islandscapes and many scenes around St. Augustine.
