Arnold Friberg stands among America’s most celebrated artists and illustrators, renowned for his powerful depictions of religious, Western, and patriotic themes. His iconic body of work includes the monumental paintings created as chief visualization artist for Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments, as well as his widely beloved masterpiece, The Prayer at Valley Forge.

This upcoming exhibition offers a rare and exciting opportunity to experience the breadth and depth of Friberg’s remarkable career. Featuring more than 40 works, the exhibition brings together a rich cross-section of his art—many pieces drawn from Friberg’s private collection and presented publicly for the very first time. From sweeping historical narratives to intimate expressions of faith, the exhibition reveals the extraordinary range, technical mastery, and enduring vision that define Friberg’s legacy.

Organized in collaboration with First Freedom Art Company of Houston, Texas, this exhibition reflects a shared commitment to preserving and promoting iconic American art while illuminating the enduring importance of the freedoms of religion and speech.
