David Freed, Printmaker: A Retrospcetive

This volume celebrates the prolific 40-year career of an internationally respected artist and teacher. During his career David Freed has produced an extraordinary body of outstanding work that is now in the collections of individuals, corporations, and museums throughout the world.

Prints included range from those produced at the beginning of Freed's career in the early 60s and political work of the late 60s, to insightful portraits of friends, family, and colleagues made throughout his life. His more abstract work focuses on weather and landscape prints, dating from the early 70s and continuing to the present. Also included is the acclaimed Genesis series, 14 etchings and mixed media prints that visually paraphrase stories from the Old Testament.
