Bio: Frederick Carl Frieseke was just 6 years old when his mother died. He was raised by his Uncle and Aunt in Florida. From an early age his interest in the arts was apparent. His Grandmother enjoyed painting and he was encouraged by her to develop his artistic skills.

Frieseke attending the Chicago Art Institute and later studied at the Art Students League in New York. In 1898 he moved to Paris where he enrolled a the Academie Julian. It is said he was influenced by James McNeill Whistler during that period.

However, Frieseke is acclaimed for his post-impressionist and light-filled depictions of the female form, having left behind the tonal palette reminiscent of Whistler.

Although Frieseke kept a home in Paris, he and his wife moved to Giverny in 1906, living in a cottage which adjoined the home of Claude Monet. Many of Frieseke's paintings are set in this house or its garden.

Although Frieseke spent most of his adult life in Giverny in France, he maintained close ties with America and in 1914 he was elected to the National Academy of Design in New York. He won numerous prizes, including the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France.

Some of Frieseke's work can be viewed at the permanent collections of the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
