Leo Frank (1884-1959) was an Austrian painter and printmaker who, along with his twin brother Hans, received formal artistic training in Vienna, including at the Vienna Academy. From 1920 to 1945, Frank traveled extensively, avoiding much of the era's turmoil, though he frequently returned to Vienna to serve as a professor in the Academy’s Drawing and Print Department. Influenced by Art Deco and Japonisme, he primarily focused on landscapes in his woodblock prints, eschewing human figures in favor of birds or beasts of burden. Due to the effects of World War II, Frank withdrew from the art world and died near his native city in 1959.
Damage to frame. Commensurate with age.
