Otto Freundlich (10 July 1878 – 9 March 1943) was a German painter and sculptor of Jewish origin.

A part of the first generation of abstract painters in Western art, Freundlich was a great admirer of cubism.

Freundlich was interned by the Vichy authorities but released, for a time, under the influence of Pablo Picasso.

Although Otto Freundlich has been largely overlooked since being vilified by the Nazis, a documentary Das Geht Nur Langsam (It Takes Time) was released in 2012.

The film traces his vision to build streets of sculptures running through Europe symbolizing his utopian ideas for a world society.
