Biography:

Frank Will (1900-1951)

Frank Will, born Frank William Boggs, was a Franco-American painter and watercolorist born in Nanterre in 1900 and died in Clichy in 1950. Son of the famous painter Frank Boggs, Frank Will adopted his pseudonym in 1919 after exploring various artistic signatures.

His career was marked by immersion in the artistic community of Montmartre, where he associated with influential figures such as Gen Paul and Leprin. Although his career was short, it was prolific and diverse, with works exhibited in renowned galleries such as Georges Petit and Henri Bureau.

Frank Will is particularly known for his vibrant depictions of Montmartre and Paris, but his work also extends to maritime scenes, provincial landscapes, and exotic locales like Morocco.
