More Than a Constructive Hobby: The Paintings of Frank Freed

Meer over het boek

The book explores the artistic journey of Frank Freed, whose "naive" or "folk" art reflects daily life, emotions, and social commentary. Born in San Antonio and later residing in Houston, Freed's work merges influences from renowned artists with his unique perspective. Despite being overshadowed by the New York art scene, his art captures the essence of his time, addressing significant issues like the Holocaust and civil rights through a humanistic lens. This collection accompanies a 1996 exhibition, highlighting Freed's contributions to the art world and his insightful observations.
