Otto Fried was a German-born American artist who worked and lived in New York City and Paris.
Otto Fried saw himself primarily as a painter; however, his extensive oeuvre consists not only of paintings and drawings but also of sculptures and objects of everyday use.[1] From his early landscape themes, still lifes, and portraits he developed an abstract formal and pictorial language in which circular movements and forms became dominant.[2] Works by Otto Fried are to be found in numerous private and public collections, including the Musée nationale d'art moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[3]
