Label TextAlfred Frueh was famous for his celebrity caricatures, which appeared in magazines and were collected into books and portfolios. Frueh captures the essence of entertainer and playwright George M. Cohan (1878-1942) with his jaw line and a characteristic pose, using extraordinary economy of line.
