It was likely Freeman’s architectural background that led to his interest in making prints of Manhattan’s impressive skyline. Freeman is remembered for his clean use of geometry and line-work. His compositions are bold and graphic, often using a single block printed in black ink. Freeman was well versed in a number of printing techniques, particularly linocut and lithography. While the bulk of his printmaking portfolio is comprised of black and white prints, he also experimented with multi-color printing.
