Fritz Klimsch was a German sculptor of the first half of the twentieth century. He is known as a brilliant representative of Art Nouveau and Classicism. Klimsch was one of the founders of the association of Berlin artists and sculptors "Berlin Secession".
Fritz Klimsch is best known for his sculptural works depicting nudes of women. Among his masterpieces are also monumental and grave monuments.
Fritz Klimsch was the most famous, but by no means the only representative of the family dynasty of German artists. His close relatives, in particular his grandfather Ferdinand Karl Klimsch, his father Eugen Klimsch, and his brothers Karl Klimsch and Paul Klimsch, also made significant contributions to the development of European art.
