Peter Freudenthal, born in 1938 in Norrköping, Sweden, grew up in a multicultural and cosmopolitan environment where Jewish tradition was mixed with European and where cultural activities played an important role. Freudenthal's studies included art, art history, archaeology and ethnography, which gave him the opportunity to visit different cultures that inspired him in his art. Freudenthal only painted figuratively in the 1950s, but influenced by his mentor, Swedish artist Olle Bærtling, Freudenthal began to change his style to a more abstract and geometric style. He works with squares and rectangles with an emphasis on the three-dimensional. He likes motifs from Jewish culture and believes art should be an expression of people's spiritual lives. Peter Freudenthal has had exhibitions in Europe, Israel and the United States at MoMa and the Jewish Museum in New York, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Skirball Museum in Los Angeles, among others.
