CREATORS

* Abe Frajndlich (American, b.1946)  - artist
Abe Frajndlich American, b. Germany, 1946– Abraham Samuel Frajndlich (born in Frankfurt am Main) translates literary sequences and series into black-and-white and color images. Upon receiving degrees in English literature from Northwestern University (B.A., 1968; M.A., 1970), he studied with Minor White at a live-in workshop (1970-71) and with Nathan Lyons (1974-75). Frajndlich's haunting portraits of an aged White, emaciated and mystical, are perhaps his most powerful images. Since 1970 Frajndlich has worked as a freelance commercial photographer, doing editorial work for several U.S. and European publications, including Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, ArtNews, London Sunday Times, and the New York Times Magazine. He has participated in many one-person and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in Germany, France, and Belgium. His books include Figments (1975), Cleveland Infra/Red (1979), Lives I've Never Lived: A Portrait of Minor White (1983), Masters of Light (1990), and Gone Beyond Gone (1993). Frajndlich lives in New York. A.W.
