FRIESZ, EMILE OTHON (1879— ) French painter, born at Le Havre. He was a pupil at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and of L. Bonnat, but came under the influence of Cezanne and Matisse. He is one of the leaders of the French Post-Impression ism. His paintings of landscapes, with views of harbours and vil lages in Normandy are summary stylistic arrangements, full of life and vigour.
