1894, after he finished his studies, he built himself an artist’s workroom in Freiburg i.Br. At this time he went on a lot of trips and his trusty camera followed him everywhere. Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Die geometrisch-abstrakte Plastik «Kleine sitzende Figur» wurde in einer Auflage von 1000 Exemplaren bei Edition Euro Art, Wien, verlegt und bei Venturi Arte, Bologna, gegossen.
Fritz Wotruba zählt zu den renommiertesten österreichischen Bildhauern seiner Zeit und lässt bereits in der Frühphase seines Schaffens die deutliche Streckung seiner menschlichen Darstellungen hin zu einer Loslösung der Formen erkennen. Seiner ersten Einzelausstellung 1931 im Essener Folkwang-Museum folgten alsbald Ausstellungen im Kunsthaus Zürich und auf der Biennale in Venedig. Nach seiner Emigration in die Schweiz kehrte er 1945 nach Wien zurück und knüpfte an frühe Erfolge an. Prestigeträchtige Objekte finden sich vor allem im urbanen Raum.
