Chronolog

Fritz Seitz kept a visual diary throughout his life, which he called Chronolog. It consists of single sheets arranged in chronological order. Each individual sheet is designed independently and illustrates a selected event.

Seitz explained and commented on his “memorabilia”: stations of his childhood and youth, his war service, his artistic training, and his lifelong studies.

The sketches, notes, correspondence, photographs, diagrams, collages, and materials from nature constitute a visual reference system that accompanied him throughout his life.

For posterity, the Chronolog is a unique synopsis of his interests an artist’s diary that spans nearly a century.
