Otto Freundlich

1878-1943 | German

A German painter and sculptor, Otto Freundlich was a pioneering figure in early abstract art and a passionate advocate for the spiritual power of creativity. Influenced by Cubism and Expressionism, he developed a bold, geometric visual language rooted in harmony and human unity. His colorful mosaics and paintings reflected his belief in art as a force for peace and renewal. Tragically, Freundlich’s life was cut short during the Holocaust, but his visionary work continues to symbolize the enduring link between art and humanity.
