Artist Louis Freund died in Little Rock (Pulaski County). Freund was a muralist who became famous for his depiction of life in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas during the 1930s. He and his wife, Elsie Bates Freund, founded the Summer Art School in Eureka Springs (Carroll County) and helped shape that resort town as a year-round community for artists and writers.
