Biography:
Frank Boggs, known as Frank-Will, was born in Nanterre on March 13, 1900. After studying architecture, he devoted himself to painting thanks to the gifts he inherited from his father, the American painter Frank Meyers Boggs.
It was in 1919 that he took the pseudonym Frank-Will. He excelled in watercolor, his oils are heavier and impasto except for the last ones he produced. He painted Montmartre and Paris, his favorite subjects, but also seascapes, galleons, the Normandy coast, Moret sur Loing, Mantes, and Morocco and other subjects.
He was largely influenced by Gen Paul and Leprin who would become his friends.
He lived for a long time in Montmartre among all the painters of his time. He exhibited at H. Bramme, his father's dealer. His painting evolved between a typically Montmartre post-impressionism and a tragic expressionism.
He died in Clichy in 1950 from alcohol abuse. He is buried at Père Lachaise.
