Freiman was focused on painting portraits and figures in motion in various mediums, especially mixed-media combination of watercolor, acrylic and pen. Born 1917, in New York City, and deaf from birth — is considered a foremost watercolorist, his exceptional stylistic evolution spanning portraiture and landscapes to, later in his career, metaphysical abstraction. His celebrated works have been collected and exhibited worldwide, including at Whitney Museum of American Art, the Associated American galleries and National Academy of Design, Boston Fine Arts Museum and Le Musee Municipal de Saint-Paul de Venice.
