Grandmother’s Washday
By Fritz White, Installed 2016
Fritz White was best known throughout the world for his distinctive style of bronze sculpture, and for being a key player in turning Loveland into the well-known sculpture community it is today.
A generous instructor, Fritz often shared his talents with others, teaching numerous sculpture courses. He was especially proud of his one-on-one classes with visually impaired children at Denver’s Jewish Community Center and also in Loveland. “It was no different teaching a blind student than a sighted student; they saw through their fingers instead of their eyes,” said Fritz.
Fritz passed away in April 2010. Up until his last days, White continued his passion for art. While he couldn’t make it to a studio, the materials were brought to him, and White would work on the dining room table. “He could work right up until the end,” said his wife, Ina. “That’s what he wanted.”
Although White is now gone, Ina hopes his lessons in sculpture and drive for living life to the fullest will inspire other artists in the community for a long time to come.
