PHILIP D. GINSBURG-PRESIDENT, AARON ASHLEY, INC.
"Dian R. Friedman is a contemporary artist in the old master mold. Her ability to capture the nuances of feeling, character and soul is obvious to any who have had the pleasure of viewing her portraits. With a minimum of stroke, each line is of great meaning to her final painting, her uncanny artistry gives her subjects a quality that makes them breathe as in life. As a scholar she prepares all her work with magnificent depth and understanding and is considered by many to be one of the outstanding portrait painters in the world."
