Fritz Neumann (1928–2014) is not Ric!
During my vacation I did some research on one of the last posts : I’ve contacted the Freudeskreis Kunst Oldenburg . They forwarded my questions to Andreas Neumann, the son of Fritz Neumann (1928–2014).
He send me the following reply:
Unfortunately, my father - Fritz Neumann - is not identical with the painter ‘Ric’. The handwriting and painting style do not match, and the Berlin address does not fit either. We lived in Ohlenstedt at the time and then moved to Oldenburg.
Andreas Neumann
Original in German:
Mein Vater - Fritz Neumann - ist leider nicht identisch mit dem Maler “Ric”. Schrift und Malstil stimmen nicht überein, und auch die angeführte Berliner Adresse paßt nicht. Wir haben zu der Zeit in Ohlenstedt gewohnt und sind dann nach Oldenburg gezogen.
Andreas Neumann
So we need to restart the search!
But first, let’s start a bit of cleanup:
- Meibohm Fine Arts will update the page on Ric / Fritz Neumann
- A change to the German Wikipedia is awaiting approval
It’s interesting to see how many people and pages have adopted the link between Fritz Neumann (1928–2014) and Ric.
Keep in mind, it’s certain that some Fritz Neumann is Ric, just not the one who was born in 1928.
The page will be updated in the next weeks…
