Frederick Carl Frieseke, American, 1874 to 1939, a pencil and watercolor on paper painting depicting a seascape, 1932. Signed and dated lower right. Matted and framed. Note: 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. He studied at The Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League in New York, and at age 24, entered James Whistlers Academie Carmen in Paris. In 1899, he painted mural decorations in Atlantic City, New Jersey for Wanamakers store and the Shelbourne Hotel. Lured back to France by the painting style of Impressionism and the freedom and stimulation of the art climate, he became an expatriate from 1905, spending every summer at Giverny, home of Claude Monet. There Frieseke had a lush garden where many of his models posed. Frieseke was one of the few American artists elected to full membership in the Society National des Beaux Arts in Paris.
