FRANK-BOGGS BEAUTIFUL PAINTING "FISHING BOATS IN THE OPEN SEA" BY FRANK-BOGGS (1855-1926) Oil on canvas signed lower left 71 x 92,5 cm Tear in the upper right corner Frank Myers Boggs, also known as Frank Boggs, born December 6, 1855 in Springfield (Ohio), died August 8, 1926 in Meudon (Hauts-de-Seine), is a French painter and engraver of American origin. Frank Myers Boggs was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme at the École des beaux-arts de Paris. He exhibited regularly until the end of his life at the Salon des Artistes Français, where he received several awards, including being placed hors-concours and awarded a silver medal at the 1889 Paris World's Fair. In 1885 in New York, he exhibited The Swell at Honfleur, which won a prize of $2,500. His drawings, generally small in size, are spontaneous and witty. In 1906-1907, he executed etchings of his favourite subjects. His watercolours, which are very numerous, with a precise and firm touch, are very nuanced, and form the most important part of his work. He decorated rare ceramic dishes in collaboration with Theodore Deck. In love with Paris, its quays and its monuments, attached to the banks of the Seine along its course, insatiable admirer of French and foreign ports, he multiplies the views of these sites in solidly built paintings, with cloudy skies. The lively markets of small towns, bridges, Normandy ports, La Rochelle, the Netherlands, Belgium, Venice, are his sources of inspiration which allow him to develop themes and a personal style appreciated by the general public. Naturalized French on November 14, 1923, Frank Boggs is buried in Paris in the Père-Lachaise cemetery (44th division), next to his son, the painter Frank-Will.
