eBay This a gorgeously rendered and masterfully done Antique Mid Century Modern Abstract Still Life Oil Painting on Masonite, by renowned California modernist and Abstract Expressionist painter Harold Frank (1917 – 1995.) This piece depicts a lovely still life scene, with a vase of bombastically expressive and colorful flowers. Hues of violet, gold, red, and lavender, among others, really make this painting come alive. Signed: “H. Frank” in the lower right corner. Frank was a colleague and friend of Richard Diebenkorn, who’s Figurative Abstract style clearly influenced the artist’s later work. This piece likely dates to the 1950’s – 1960’s. Approximately 25 1/4 x 30 inches (including frame.) Actual artwork is approximately 18 3/4 x 23 1/2. Very good condition for age, with light edge wear to the original period gilded frame. This rare piece would be a fantastic addition to any serious modern art collection. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer.

About the Artist: Harold Frank Born: 1917 – Southampton, England Died: 1995 – Los Angeles, California Known for: Abstract expressionist painting After initially studying in Paris, Harold Frank attended the New York Art Students League, the National Academy of Design, Pratt Institute, Chouinard Art Institute and UCLA where he was a colleague of Richard Diebenkorn, who had a lasting influence on his work. Other artists who deeply affected his creative philosophy included Matisse, Rouault, Picasso and De Kooning. His one-man and group exhibition record is extensive and he was shown internationally in London, Paris, Amsterdam and Aubonne, Switzerland, as well as throughout the United States from the 1960’s through the 80’s. Though he did not seek recognition as his reason to create, major awards also came his way (among them the Adolph and Clara Obrig Award and the Sudam Silver Medal from the National Academy of Design; the National Watercolor Society’s Grumbacher Award; the John Marin Memorial Award in the Watercolor U.S.A. Show and a First Prize from the Laguna Beach Museum of Art. His subject matter included pure abstracts, landscapes, still lifes and the male and female head and figure. As many artists have done before and after him, he explored variations of each subject, experimenting with changes in medium, technique, light and color. His remarkable paintings of the female head and form quickly developed into a vehicle for his abstract interpretations. Though his brushwork is quick and sure, he often labored over several pieces at the same time. This piece is accompanied with a first edition copy of ‘Harold Frank: Abstract Expressionist 1921-1995’ by Sandie Stern and published by Millenium Twelve Two (2001).
