Harold Frank:
Harold
Frank (1921-1995) was an important American abstract
expressionist painter in oil, gouache and watercolour,
influenced by Willem de Kooning. Born in England, he moved
to Los Angeles, California at a young age and then studied
in Paris. He painted with a vigour and immediacy throughout
his working life, and although he initially favoured
portraits and figure subjects, and some still lifes, he
became most interested in abstract expressionism in the
1950s. His work was exhibited extensively but as it is said
that he didn't like parting with his paintings it perhaps
explains why so few have appeared on the market in recent
years.
A book on the artist titled
'Harold Frank, Abstract Expressionist', wriiten by Sandie
Stern, was published in America in 2001.
