Self Portrait
Wood engraving, 1935, edition unknown. 10 5/8 x 9 in. Signed, dated and titled in pencil. Here we have a fine impression with probably the full margins. The condition is also fine apart from a very faint suggestion of light toning within an earlier mat opening. Friedlander was born in Latvia and taught art there in the 1920s. He was encouraged to come to America by his cousin, Joseph Hirshhorn. He settled in New York where this potent self portrait was made.
