"Painter and printmaker Mark Freeman was born in Zaleszczyki, Austria, on September 17, 1908, and he came to the United States in 1923. Freeman first majored in architecture, earning both his BA and MA from Columbia University. There, he became known for his constant sketching, capturing the buildings on campus and the contruction of Riverside Church,George Washington Bridge, and more. At this time he also worked as an editor and graphic artist for the magazines Morningside and Varsity.
Following graduation in 1932, he traveled to Paris, where he earned a Diploma of Art at the Sorbonne. He then returned once more the New York and took additional classes at the National Academy of Design. His early interest in architecture would prove to be a constant source of inspiration and Freeman would become known for his works chronicaling the growth of New York City, as well as the demolition of older structures to make way for new. He wa an early experimentor of the airbrush technique and would sometimes incorporate color onto his printed works using the relatively new medium. This included the futuristic images he contributed to the New York World's Fair, whose theme that year was "The World of Tomorrow." He was a member of the Audubon Artists and a lifetime honorary member of the Lotus Club. Among his noted solo exhibitions were shows at Hirschl & Adler Gallery and the Sylvan Cole Gallery.
In addition to his career as an artist Freeman was a supporter of the arts in his community, and served at various times as president, vice president, or chairman of the American Society of Contemporary Artist (1975 - '77); the New York City Artists Equity Association (1976 - '83); the Artists Welfare Fund 1976 - '83); Board of trustees, Artists Fellowship (1981 - '88); and the Advisory Board, Artists Fellowship (1988 - 2002), among others.
Mark Freeman died in New York City on February 6, 2003.

Restaurant in Mott Street
By Charles Frederick William Mielatz
Located in New Orleans, LA
The image depicts a restaurant on New York's Mott Street with ornamental iron work on the balconies. There are six figures in the scene in various stages of contrast. Mott Street is considered the unofficial Main Street of New York's Chinatown. Ella Fitzgerald sang it best: “And tell me what street compares with Mott Street in July? Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.”
CFW Mielatz was an early influence on the drypoints and etchings of Martin Lewis. This piece was created in 1906 and it is signed in pencil. It is part of the collection of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art
C.F.W. Mielatz
American, 1860-1919
Born in Bredding, Germany in 1864, Mielatz emigrated to the United States as a young boy and studied at the Chicago School of Design. Mostly self-taught, his first prints were large New England landscapes reminiscent of the painter-etcher school of American Art. Around 1890 he started to produce prints of New York City and by the time of his death, the number totaled over ninety images. He was a master technician in the field of etching, reworking many of his plates to get the exact feeling he was seeking. Mielatz was a member of the New York Etching...
