Scope and Content of Collection

From the Collection:

The Bob Freimark Collection, 1952-2007 [bulk 1950-1960] is a small representation of the creative work of the San Francisco Bay Area artist and San José State University art professor. Friemark's work in abstract expressionism and figurative art reflects his interest in Mexican culture as well as social and political justice. The collection consists of 19 limited edition prints, lithographs and posters produced by Freimark over a 50-year time period. Of particular note are three images culled from his Fifty States series, completed in the 1960s. As an artist, Freimark has moved steadily towards painting abstractly. He has avoided painting objects or things, while at the same time understanding the landscape and human figure to develop a sense of reality. His work symbolizes ideas, values and states of mind in pure abstract terms.
