Fred Reichman, Painter, 1925- 2005
Fred Reichman taught at the University of California at Berkeley, University of
California at Davis, San Francisco Art Institute and the University of
California extension in San Francisco. As an artist, he originally worked from his imagination and was influenced
by Paul Klee creating abstract landscapes. His focus shifted after
traveling in Europe and seeing the great Asian art collections with an
emphasis on Japanese art. Reichman's mature style and inspiration
evolved from a combination of Western European, West Coast and Eastern
influences including C�zanne, Matisse, Pascin, Piazzoni, Sengai,
Chu-ta and haiku poetry, in particular Issa. Like the haiku poetry he
loved, Reichman's work was based on personal observation of the intimate
with "a focus on nature with compression and economy of means".
