WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — On Thursday, April 25 at 6 pm, the Clark Art Institute presents an exclusive event with Warner Friedman, a prominent artist in the Berkshires for over fifty years. 

 

After screening the 2023 short documentary directed by Diane Crespo, "Warner Friedman: A Postmodern Journey" (Run time: 21 minutes), the artist and the filmmaker join in a conversation and Q&A session. The event takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

 

According to a press release:

 

Renowned as a contemporary landscape painter, Friedman is celebrated for his vibrant scenes framed by fences, gates, windows, and doors. Drawing from his early career in engineering, Friedman transitioned to creating abstract works of art. In the 1960s, he seamlessly integrated these abstract elements and geometric forms into expansive realist paintings, utilizing irregularly shaped canvases and employing models and carefully calibrated photographs for precision.
