Sepp Frank: A twentieth century German etcher and
lithographer, Sepp Frank studied art in both Frankfort and Munich. His
art was first exhibited in Germany shortly after the end of World War
1 (1918). Besides creating a number of fine individual etchings, Frank
also illustrated books such as Shakespeare's Hamlet (1936), The
Tales of Hoffmann (1927) and Goethe's Ballads (1925). He was
also a leading designer of ex-libris bookplates and in this field it is
estimated that he created over 300 works of miniature art. Many of these
are considered masterworks of art deco ex-libris design. |
|
Sepp Frank traveled and worked extensively throughout Germany,
Spain, Italy and later in the United States. His original etchings were
rarely numbered in specific editions but most appeared in numbers of one
hundred or less. Etchings such as ,The Old Palace, Venice , clearly
show that Sepp Frank was a master of design and atmosphere. |
|
Today the art of Sepp Frank is included in many major public
and private collections; not only in Germany but in such wide ranging
institutions as the University of California at Berkeley and in the Athenaeum
Museum of Finland. |
