He initially studied architecture before dedicating himself entirely to painting, becoming friends and collaborating with the painter Gen Paul. In 1936, he married Victoire Royer and settled in Mantes-la-Jolie. His paintings reflect everyday life in a style reminiscent of the Post-Impressionist School of Paris, depicting subjects and motifs of Parisian life, views of Montmartre, and monumental themes. His work is characterized by the use of pure colors and bold strokes to create graphic and dynamic works that emphasize movement. Frank Will's work has been exhibited in several galleries, including those of Georges Petit, Hector Brame, and Henri Bureau. He has also participated in group exhibitions in Paris and internationally. His works are held in public collections, notably in Meudon (Museum of Art & History), Menton, Versailles, and Saint-Malo.
