American Impressionist painter Frank Myers Boggs was born in Springfield (Ohio, USA) on December 6, 1855. He trained at the Beaux-Arts under Jean Léon Gérôme (1824-1904). Boggs exhibited regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he received an Hors Concours (exceptional) prize.
At the 1889 Universal Exhibition, Frank Boggs was awarded the silver medal. Boggs had a great love for France. Through his paintings, he captures the atmosphere of its streets, ports, and monuments.
His drawings, generally small in scale, are spontaneous and witty. In 1906-1907, he executed etchings of his favorite subjects. His watercolors, numerous and precise, are highly nuanced, and form the largest part of his oeuvre. He decorated rare ceramic dishes in collaboration with Théodore Deck. A lover of Paris, its quays, and its monuments, attached to the banks of the Seine along its course, and an insatiable admirer of French and foreign ports, he produced numerous views of these sites in solidly constructed paintings with cloudy skies.
Naturally French on November 14, 1923, Frank Boggs is buried in Paris at Père-Lachaise Cemetery, alongside his son, the painter Frank-Will.
