Fritz Mooney

Two Old Favourites

2011-07-24T20:53:00.000-07:00

This picture was painted in around 1974 and shows (if you smoke enough 'weed') Jesus and the twelve apostles. It was hung in La Sartén, a bar in Mojácar, for many years. Now in a private collection. The picture is round about 100cms x 150cms (as I remember it) and painted on a heavy press-board.
This is an old photograph of one of Fritz' favourite paintings, his 'Japanese Garden' which hung in actress Kate Mullock's house in Mojácar for many years.

This is an image from a postcard I made of a Fritz picture which ended up, I think, in London. How many faces and bodies are in this picture? You'd need to be an 'infusionist' to be sure.

Another Portrait

This is a simple but effective picture on a piece of board.

Portrait of Fritz by Hollander

2009-09-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

Gino Hollander was a student and friend of Fritz' and painted this fine portait of him shortly before Fritz died.
A mutual friend, Angel Mejias, has made a documentary film about Fritz - I'd seen part of the 'rushes' and it looked very good (although I notice it's hard not to want to imitate Fritz' voice when you are talking about him) - and so I should soon have an update on when/where to see the half hour documentary.

It's all in the mind

Fritz had a remarkable mind, packed full of all kinds of things...

Almería Portrait

I've never been clear as to whether this is Bédar or Mojácar.

Three More Pix

Actually - these are a couple of the recurrent themes of Fritz' work: 'horsies' and sex.

Art

Fritz called his style 'infusionism' since it involved reducing a lot of the local wild herbs and plants into some sort of a tea with... sometimes interesting side-effects. Here are some examples of art under these spells. To truly appreciate them, you may need to consider a trip to the garden yourself.
