wolfgangFRIES not only studied animals in minute detail; he also created portraits — the most prestigious art form of all.
wolfgangFRIES was very communicative. During the war and his imprisonment in what was then Yugoslavia, he learned fluent Greek and Serbo-Croatian. This allowed him to interact with many interesting people as he travelled the Balkans. Some of them sat for portraits.
wolfgangFRIES produced not only self-portraits but also likenesses of people he met on his travels, and of his wives and children.
