Born in Owosso, Michigan, Frederick Frieseke became a leading American Impressionist, his principal subject being a single voluptuous female
figure, often nude, in a colorful outdoor setting of sun dappled
light. A frequent model was his wife, and together they shopped
for costumes including the parasols that were so frequently held by his
subjects.
He studied at The Art Institute of Chicago, the Art
Students League in New York, and at age 24, entered James Whistler's
Academie (showing 500 of 15413 characters). |
