Freddie Uhlman was born in Stuttgart in 1901 and died in 1985. He lived in London and North Wales. In 1936 he settled in England where he took up painting.
Self-taught and regarded as a primitive painter, he produced large oils of natural scenes in simple form and strong colour. His watercolours of North Wales, like Port Madoc, were in complete contrast. Many were published in ‘An Artist in North Wales’. Clough Williams Ellis, who wrote the commentary, said of them “They are the authentic North Wales, they breathe it, they cry out loud and they could be nowhere else”.
Freddie Uhlman exhibited widely in London and on the Continent.
