Common farm memories become artwork
GALESBURG - A man who is nationally recognized for creating artwork out of common farm memories is in town through today. Farm artist Charles Freitag is at the Maple City Antique Tractor Association's annual Indoor Tractor Show in Sandburg Mall. At center court, Freitag is painting, signing autographs and displaying his Norman Rockwell-inspired work, which primarily is nostalgic tractor art that includes either John Deere or Farmall tractors from the 1930s to 1970s. That era of tractors also surrounds him at the mall, where 51 antique tractors are on display through 5 p.m. today. Freitag has sold tens of thousands of prints of his approximately 50 farm paintings across the United States and around the world. His artwork, which portrays farm life, commonly decorates Midwestern farmhouses and farm and agribusiness offices.
