About the Item

An abstract Mid-Century piece with lighter color tones accentuated with the use of basic colors, blue, red and yellow. In this abstract composition we see a figure, tending to their garden. An abundance of flowers through out with strong lines and bold mark create a dynamic atmosphere. This piece is depicted with thick use of paint and complex movement and color placement. A strong modernist oil painting done in 1971. Freiman, known for his figures on canvas or street scenes, is able to capture a wonderful abstract style with strong suggestive brush strokes, color blocks, and form. This painting is signed and dated by the artist lower right and it comes framed in a simple thin wood with gold rim frame and stretched in the original stretcher bars from the artist's studio. Art measures 32 x 45.75 inches Frame measures 32.5 x 46.25 inches 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 especially 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 as well focused on abstracts for a time, discovering new media in his works with quick brushwork and expressive movements. PROVENANCE: Robert Freiman Estate; Private Collection New York City; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
