Ernst Frick

Ernst Frick was a Swiss painter. As far as can be ascertained, Frick began painting around 1917. He was taught by Arthur Segal in Ascona. Frick painted in charcoal, oil and watercolour. His preference was for nature and animals, but also working people. He was influenced by the artist group Der Blaue Reiter. In 1924 he was a founding member of the artists' association Der Grosse Bär. After the dissolution of the group Der Grosse Bär in 1941, he remained artistically active and joined newly formed Asconese artist groups.
