Born in Nanterre in 1900 and died in Clichy in 1950, he was born in Nanterre and buried in Père-Lachaise.
He developed a passion for painting at the age of 10 and began studying art in the studio of his father Frank Boggs (1856-1923).
Frank-Will is a painter who will immortalize Paris a lot thanks to his brushes. Mainly a watercolourist, Frank-Will spent most of his life in the Montmartre district. The bohemian life of Montmartre no longer held any secrets for the painter!
From 1921, he signed his works "Frank-Will". His watercolours, with a precise and firm touch, are very nuanced, with cloudy skies, were very popular with the general public.
A landscape painter of Paris and Montmartre* in particular, he also painted seascapes. He navigates between post-impressionism typical of Montmartre and violent expressionism. His views of Paris are works that present different styles, although the figurative style is the most frequent.
