Image: 10.75” X 20”. original Frame: 31” X 20.75”. Dear Potential Buyer: There has been much interest and many inquiries about this wonderful piece of art. How could something so magnificent be original? It must be an engraving, they say. That is why we have held on to this piece for almost a decade, showing it to experts and evaluating it with various methods as our own expertise has grown. One Print expert declared that it is an original ink drawing with some lines in graphite. Another print expert believed that this is, accomplished in mixed media which involved etching and then being pulled as lithograph, with possibly even traces of graphite, on a heavy grade wove paper and later laid on a poster board thickness for protection. Well, we're still torn and do not know what exactly is the case, but it is very beautiful and it is antique. Of course, the work is a copy of a painting by, Adolphe William Bouguereau.   « Less

Pal Fried, (1893-1976), Hungarian American artist, was born in Budapest and studied at the Hungarian Academie under Professor Hugo Pohl and in Paris under Claude Monet and Lucien Simone. Under Pohl's influence, he executed many portraits, nudes and Oriental scenes in pastel. He was also greatly influenced by the French Impressionist School of Renoir and Degas. His works are listed in the Fine Arts Book. Fried's signature on his paintings was Fried Pal, last name first in the European manner. He is sometimes listed in auction catalogs and reference books erroneously under the letter "P". While traveling in Spain and Africa, Pal Fried widened and enriched his palette, which gave him mastery of light and movement. After returning to Paris, Fried concentrated on portraiture in which he also became a recognized master. He exhibited his work in Muucsarnok in Budapest. In 1947, after WW II, he emigrated to America where he taught at the Academy of Arts in New York and developed his own unique style and technique. In the 1950s and 60s, Pal Fried gained popularity while living and painting in Hollywood. He made the rounds and often painted high society women and celebrities including Marilyn Monroe and the Gabor sisters. In New York, he painted portraits of Herbert Lehman Governor and Senator from New York, Will Rogers and other notables. Fried, an artist of the Hungarian school, worked with pastels and oil paints. He was known for being an important figure painter, and most often depicted beautiful young women, nudes, ballerinas, Parisian society women, western scenes, horse racing, and an occasional seascape. His artwork has gained much deserved recognition and notoriety and has become highly collectible. Many of his paintings hung in the famed Haussner Restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland. Pal Fried died in New York City at his home, on March 6, 1976, at the age of 82.   « Less
