Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Franz Kline became one of the most prominent 20th-century American artists working in abstract and non objective styles. His name is most associated with large-scale black and white paintings, and these linear abstractions brought him his first notable public attention in 1950 when they were shown in New York City.

Some of these in 1940 included Bleeker Street murals   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 5263 characters.]  Artist bio
