Robert Freiman
American, 1917-1991
Robert Freiman, deaf from birth, was born in March 1917 in New York City. He attended an oral program near his home and later transferred to the Lexington School for the Deaf when he was six. Early in his childhood, his love for drawing, painting, and studying became apparent and as an adult, he continued his studies in New York at the National Academy of Design, Pratt Institute, the Art Students League and the Parsons School of Design. In Paris, he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Freiman was focused on painting portraits and figures in motion in various mediums, especially the mixed-media combination of watercolor, acrylic and pen. Among his subjects were acrobats, ballet dancers, cyclists and other athletes. He was also focused on abstracts for a time, discovering new media in his works with quick brushwork and expressive movements.

Pablo Picasso Drawing 'Pours Mes Chers Fiancés, ' 1956
By Pablo Picasso
Located in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire
A unique vintage Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973) framed, signed and inscribed title page of L'Oeuvre Gravé de Picasso dedicated and presented to the engaged couple Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek, who married later in 1956 with original pastel sketches of the couple below a signed dedication reading 'Pour mes chers fiances' dated to the upper left corner 20.4.56.
Provenance: Given by Pablo Picasso to Sylvette David and Tobias Jellinek on their engagement and who later married; thence sold to Eila Grahame.
Other notes: "In 1956 the art periodical, Verve, had an image of Sylvette on the cover and Sylvette and I were given a copy. We went to see Picasso that day and took the book with us, and asked Picasso if he would sign it for us. He went and found some colored crayons and wrote the dedication, adding the little sketch of us both.
The likeness of Sylvette shows how comfortable he was with producing her image, which he had previously worked with for several months. His drawing of me with my new beard is less of a
likeness!"
Tobias Jellinek, April 2017.
Pablo Picasso had been working on a portrait of Sylvette David, aged 19, as the girl with the ponytail before doing the present cartoon sketch.
"Sylvette" is the title of one of Picasso's numerous paintings featuring a young woman with a ponytail. The model for the painting, Lydia Sylvette David, also known later by her married name Lydia Corbett...
