William Joseph "Bill" Freeman (American, 1927-2012), oil on canvas, ca. mid 20th century CE. A stunning landscape painting depicting a dramatic Western mountain view from the plains of below. Freeman's painting possesses an almost ethereal quality thanks to his dreamy palette of lavender, sky blue, pastel pink, mauve, sage, spring green, and creamy beige as well as a style that demonstrates influences of Impressionism and Expressionism achieved via a sophisticated use of palette knife and brush. Freeman presents us with an optimal view of this awe-inspiring mountain range from the serene river running through the land below. Set in a lovely wooden frame. Size (painting): 18" W x 13.9" H (45.7 cm x 35.3 cm); 26.1" W x 21.75" H (66.3 cm x 55.2 cm) including frame
Bill Freeman grew up in West Texas on a farm just outside of El Paso. Interestingly, he worked as a horse wrangler, fought forest fires for the U.S. Forest Service, and was a field researcher and guide for the Arizona Game and Fish Department for twelve years in Arizona, Wyoming, and New Mexico prior to becoming an artist. It was not until the age of 30 that Freeman decided to become an artist specializing in Western landscapes. Today he is considered a pioneer of Western art centered on such storied locales as Scottsdale, Arizona as well as Jackson Hole and Grand Tetons National Park, Wyoming.
