About the Item

SOLD - Conditions : Original canvas with artist stamp. Free shipping all Continental US, and all other countries, Europe, Asia etc... Fried was born in Budapest and studied at the Hungarian Academy of Professor Pohl Hugo in Paris in the company of Claude Monet and Lucien Simone. Under Pohl's influence, he executed many portraits, nudes and oriental scenes in pastel. He was also strongly influenced by the French Impressionist school of Renoir and Degas. His works are listed in the Livre des Beaux-Arts. He is sometimes mentioned in auction catalogues and reference books by mistake under the letter "P". During travels in Spain and Africa, Pal Fried expanded and enriched his palette, which gave him mastery of light and movement. After his return to Paris, Fried concentrated on portraiture in order to become a recognized master. He exhibited his work in Budapest. In 1947, after the Second World War, he emigrated to America where he taught at the New York Academy of Arts and developed his own style and technique. In the 1950s and 60s, Pal Fried gained popularity with his paintings and would live in Hollywood. He often painted high society women and celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and the Gabor sisters. In New York, he painted portraits of Herbert Lehman (Governor and Senator of New York), Will Rogers and other notables. Fried, an artist of the Hungarian School, worked with pastels and oil paints. His works of art have acquired much merit hence the importance of collecting them. Many of his paintings hung in the famous Haussner restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland. Pal Fried died in New York at his home, 1737 York Avenue, on March 6, 1976, at the age of 82. He died four days after that of his beloved wife, Eva.
