Joseph Friebert

Joseph Friebert's career spans six decades. He completed his first works in the mid-1930s and continued to paint until his death in 2002. During his long career he made paintings, prints, sculptures and murals that reflect the times in which he worked, the eras of the Great Depression, the Holocaust, World War II, McCarthy's "Red Scare" and the Cold War.

Although his works often reveal an awareness of the stylistic trends in mainstream American art, Friebert remained an independent, always committed to his own artistic goals.
