Renowned photojournalist Victor Friedman hadn’t originally intended on creating a book with a collection of his work comprised with images of the American flag. With a closer look at various prints and proofs spanning his 45 year illustrious career, Friedman realized the flag was everywhere. Respectively, he created a book by compiling a selection of his poignant monochromatic images celebrating Americana. Victor Friedman’s work is in the permanent collections of The Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas; The Brooklyn Museum; The Museum of the City of New York; and the New York Public Library. His photographs have been exhibited in New York City at The Old Print Shop, The Witkin, The Leica and June Bateman Galleries, among others, as well as the University of Mexico and Haifa University in Israel. Several of his images were selected by the American Ambassador to be displayed in the German Embassy in Berlin. His publishing credits include The New York Times (Award for Best Op-Ed Page, 1972), Popular Photography, and many social, educational, and psychology journals published by West Publishing, McGraw-Hill, John Wiley, and Harper and Row. He lives in New York City and Shelter Island.
Whether in a photo with a veteran, gracing the entrance of a general store, or sprawled on walls past and present, the images of old glory truly embrace the spirit of America. Friedman is artist that elicits true emotion through his thoughtful approach to his craft. His art and photography embodies aspects of everyday life through a visual experience that draws the viewer in. He captures the essence of the moment with sincerity. Black & White magazine says, "Friedman imbues his work with the soul of a true artist." Flag is a tribute to the American symbol of pride and would be an ideal addition for any book or photography enthusiast
