This fully-illustrated hardback has come out to coincide with the like-named exhibition at Telfair Museum of Art. There have been several important retrospective shows of Frieseke's work in the past, including one organized by the Telfair in 1974, but this may be the largest to date. Many well-illustrated catalogs of his work have been published in the past - I have six of them on my shelf - but this is by far the most comprehensive. The primary author, Nicholas Kilmer, also wrote the highly-acclaimed _A Place in Normandy_ and the Fred Taylor mysteries (_Harmony in Flesh and Black_, etc.). The book is over 12" x10", with many half-page and some full-bleed illustrations. The reproductions are magnificent. Do an internet search on Frieseke, and see how many of his pictures you recognize. It is high time that this painter of well-known images should receive "name recognition!" F R IY Z EH K AH ("Free - zeh - kuh") - The accent is on the first syllable.
