-
Provenance: Notes:
The tagline for Don Freeman's visual journal Newsstand was "Signs of the Times in Lithographs". This periodical documented daily life in New York City during and after the Great Depression and during World War II. In later volumes, Freeman illustrated life in post-war Los Angeles.
The lithographs of Newsstand offered readers an out-on-the-street perspective of some of the most tumultuous years in American life. Throughout its decade-long run of quarterly volumes, beginning in 1936, Newsstand showcased all walks of urban life. The periodical would continue on an irregular basis, with years passing between issues, until the final volume was published in 1968.
Freeman is perhaps best known for his children's books, including Corduroy (1968). He created art with the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project during the Great Depression. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army. His works have been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the American Institute of Graphic Arts in New York. Today, Freeman's prints are part of the permanent collections of museums and libraries, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and the Smithsonian.
