William E. Freeman - also known as Bill Freeman (American, 1927-2012), oil on canvas, ca. mid 20th century CE. Signed on lower left. A stunning landscape painting depicting a serene setting with a flowing river in the foreground, a golden autumnal landscape in the middle ground, and sublime mountains in the background. Freeman's painting possesses an almost ethereal quality thanks to his dreamy palette of periwinkle blue, sky blue, mauve, pink, lavendar, sage green, golden yellow, tawny orange, white, and beige and 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 tranquil scene of a mystical mountain range from the fall foliage of the land below. Size: 20" W x 24" H (50.8 cm x 61 cm)
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 and Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
