Ernest Freed, painter, printmaker, administrator, and teacher, was born on a farm near Rockville, Indiana on July 20, 1908. He showed an early propensity toward art, but received no formal training until he enrolled at Indiana State Teacher's College in 1926. The following year, Freed transferred to the University of Illinois where he earned his B.S. in Education in 1931 and a B.F.A. in Art in 1933. He was awarded a scholarship in 1933 to the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts where he studied until 1934. Between 1935 and 1937, he pursued further studies at the University of Iowa and received his M.A. in fresco painting. 1936 was a pivotal year for Freed. He won a Tiffany Fellowship and had his first solo exhibition, which included work created during his fellowship.
