A letter home to Frueh’s wife Giuliette makes an exhibition of the page
While away on assignment, the cartoonist and illustrator Alfred Joseph Frueh would send letters home to his wife Giuliette Fancuilli. Through collage, cuts and structural folds, Frueh demonstrates quite literally how space can be constructed through letter-writing, as the page forms the walls of a gallery. Image from the Alfred J.
