Signed lower right: Martin Friedman titled verso upper stretcher bar Rhythm of the Elements , artist statement regarding painting printed and tacked verso top of the frame: Rhythm of the Elements by Martin Friedman. In Rhythm of the Elements I translated y conception of the sea, sky, trees, earth, boulders and people in plastic terms building my forms thru color and rhythmic design rather than striving for realistic representation. I attempted to achieve and project in this canvas the spiritual elation evoked in me by the oneness of the play of natural phenomenon in this New England Coastal Landscape.
