Beautiful original Montmartre frame in patinated sculpted wood. Dimensions: 38cm X 32cm. FRANK-WILL (1900-1950) French Post-Impressionist painter of urban landscapes, seascapes, watercolourist. Frank-Will was a pupil of his father the painter Frank Myers Boggs. He gave up studying architecture to devote himself to painting. A typical Montmartre figure, he was particularly linked with Gen-Paul and Marcel Leprin. In 1922, he made a first trip to the Normandy coast. From 1929, the Georges Petit gallery exhibited it permanently. He then exhibited with Hector Brame, then under contract with Henri Bureau. With Leprin, he visited Moret-sur-Loing, Auxerre, Avallon. The work turns out to be plethoric, repetitive and uneven. It evolves between a populist post-impressionism, quite typically Montmartre, and flashes of violent expressionism, which could have tended towards tragedy.
