Biography:
Frank Will (1900-1951).
Frank Will, born Frank William Boggs, was a French-American painter and watercolorist born in Nanterre in 1900 and died in Clichy in 1950. The son of the famous painter Frank Boggs, Frank Will adopted his pseudonym in 1919 after exploring various artistic signatures.
His journey was marked by immersion in the artistic scene 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 est particulièrement connu pour ses représentations vibrantes de Montmartre et Paris, mais son œuvre s’étend également à des marines, des scènes provinciales et des paysages exotiques comme le Maroc.
