Provenance:
Private collection, Missouri
 
Boston-born Maurice Freedman was first a trumpet player in the New England traveling band the Teddy Bears. He later studied art stateside in Massachusetts and New York before traveling to Europe. In 1920s Paris, Freedman was exposed to modernism, which altered the way he observed his subjects for the rest of his career. The Great Depression and then World War II sidelined him for many years, during which time he worked as an art director and designed camouflage for the war effort. Friendships with Marsden Hartley, John Marin and Milton Avery, along with adventures to the Southwest and Cape Cod, helped form his later work, all of it firmly rooted in American modernism.
