The Art of Herbert Freeman

directed by

Giovanni Santacroce

This short documentary is a tribute to the homeless artist Herbert Freeman, who has been selling his art in downtown Orlando, Florida for over a decade. I took away two things from watching it. A true artist can be the richest person in the world. And second, what Freeman says about solitude: “I like to have solitude to see what I’m really doing—and that means a lot.” Watching this video has left a deep impression on me. After the video, check out Freeman’s blog and Flickr stream.

    I just returned from Orlando and purchase a piece of art from Herbert Freeman, my only regret is that i didn’t have more luggage space to buy more, he is a special human being

    It’s unfortunate that you have to label him as “Homeless Artist Herbert Freeman.” He doesn’t need a qualifier for “artist.” His art and his words tell us everything we need to know about him.

    This post is to bring awareness to artists that are in fact without a home.
