Charles Biederman, 98, an artist known for his abstract geometric paintings and aluminum reliefs that reflected his deeply held belief that art springs from nature, died Sunday at his farm in Red Wing, Minn., according to a spokesman at the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis.
The cause of death was not announced.
Born in Cleveland to Czech immigrants on Aug. 23, 1906, Biederman dropped out of high school but later talked himself into the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied for several years.
