Mixed Media Collage of Antique Photographs and Letters by Ben Freeman

About the Item

A mixed media work by noted artist and photographer Ben Freeman. This large scale work features a collage of antique gentleman’s photographs and authentic hand penned letters, overlayed upon an enlarged image of what appears to be an early image of Greta Garbo, ca. 1930s. This was part of a series entitled “Romance” that Freeman created in the late 1990s which used found period photographs and primarily anonymous studio headshots to explore the myth of stardom and the viewer’s emotional connections to this nostalgic era of film’s golden age. The leaden panel affixed to the bottom informs the viewer of Freeman's own creative sentiments. Titled "Attitude" on reverse, and dated 2000. A catalogue from the "Romance" gallery exhibit and another from his subsequent "Temptation" gallery exhibit (utilizing the same artistic techniques) will be included with this work.
