ROBERT
FREEMAN
Robert Freeman
(b.1946) is much admired for his bold, colorful brushwork and figurative
paintings of well-heeled African-Americans at sophisticated gatherings.
Characterized by overlapping shapes, energized lines and strong
gestures, his subjects crowd to the front and edges of his paintings,
sometimes taking on an aggressive, in-your-face stance with the viewer.
Born in Brooklyn, New
York, Freeman received his BFA and MFA degrees from Boston University,
and he now resides in that area where he is a prominent artist and
respected teacher. He was artist-in-residence at Noble and Greenough
School from 1981 until his recent retirement, and a lecturer and
instructor at Harvard from 1988 to 1994.
Freeman’s art is widely
collected and his paintings have been exhibited at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts, the Newport Art Museum, Zenith Gallery and in galleries in
New York, Georgia, Florida, Illinois, Michigan and beyond.
