| In the late 1940s, Freilicher
studied with New York School and abstract painter Hans Hofmann alongside
Larry Rivers and Wolf Kahn. She declined to practice abstraction and instead
chose to work with recognizable imagery through still-life, cityscape, and
landscape paintings, often depicting views from her New York City apartment
with Long Island summer home. In the Museum's work, her landscape, with
its verdant greens and clear-water blues, floats against a red background. |
