Catalogue of paintings by Arnold Friedman / with an introduction by Stephan Bourgeois
An exhibition catalogue of paintings by Arnold Friedman (1874-1946), issued in 1925 by the Bourgeois Galleries in New York with an introduction by Stephan Bourgeois, intended for gallery visitors and collectors. The three plates reproduce soft-toned figurative and landscape paintings in grey halftone, showing a nude figure framed by drapery, a shadowed wooded hollow, and a woman embracing a child in a chair, with smooth modelling and simplified shapes a designer could draw on for mid-century modernist composition and tonal contrast.
