Frederick Carl Frieseke was born in Owosso, Michigan in 1874. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Art Students League in New York, and in Paris at Whistler’s Academie Carmen. The Majority of Frieseke’s career was spent in France, where he lived and painted in Giverny, home of Claude Monet. Frieseke fully explored the boundaries of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism during his career. A frequent theme for the artist was the female nude, set in a garden with dappled sunlight. Highly respected in the U.S. and his adopted country, Frieseke died in France in 1939, one of few American artists elected to the Society National des Beaux Arts in Paris.
