Fritz Schwegler
Fritz Schwegler was a German painter, graphic artist, sculptor and musician.
As an artist, he first appeared as an iconoclastic, uncanny creator of image collages and spoken performances, entitled "Effeschiaden", "Effeschiadiana", "Effeschiaturen", "Moritafeln", "Zehnerschaften", "Viererreihen" and "Urnotizen", which were also accompanied by photographs and film sequences, but later he also made sculptures out of wood and produced a series of 1000 bronze sculptures.
For three decades, Schwegler was a professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he was in close contact with Joseph Beuys. Among his students were Thomas Demand, Katharina Fritsch, Martin Honert, Thomas Huber, and Thomas Schütte.
