About

Frederick Frieseke arrived in Paris as a student in 1898 and, save for occasional visits home, remained an expatriate. When asked his artistic goals, Frederick Frieseke declared, “it is sunshine, flowers in sunshine; girls in sunshine; the nude in sunshine.” The emphasis upon light marks Frieseke as a disciple of the impressionists.
