Frank Kline was born in Wilkes-Barre, a small coal-mining community in Eastern Pennsylvania. When he was seven years old, Kline's father committed suicide. During his youth he moved to Lehighton, Pennsylvania and graduated from Lehighton High School. His mother later remarried and sent him to Girard College, an academy in Philadelphia for fatherless boys. After graduation from high school, Kline studied art at Boston University from 1931 to 1935, then spent a year in England attending the Heatherley School of Fine Art in London. During this time, he met his future wife, Elizabeth V. Parsons, a British ballet dancer. She returned to the United States with Kline in 1938. Upon his return to the country, Kline worked as a designer for a department store in New York state. He then moved to New York City in 1939 and worked for a scenic designer. It was during this time in New York that Kline developed his artistic techniques and gained recognition as a significant artist. 🕳 ⚫️ ⚫️ #cooperspencerimages #jacksonpolluck #gqendolynknight #artlovers #sculpter #artistsoninstagram #artists #lifestyle #digitalart #cleanlines #texture #nyc #fashionblogger #nyfwm #gentleman #manhattan #fashion #blogger #styleblogger #peoplescreatives #nyfwm #gentleman #manhattan #fashion #blogger #styleblogger #peoplescreatives #african (at New York, New York)
