Born on Long Island, New York, in 1931, Frank Wagner has been painting pictures since he was five years old. His formal art training was completed at Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art and Pratt Institute followed by a European Fellowship Grant for postgraduate work at the Rijksmuseum School in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Like many well-known painters before him, Wagner's career began in commercial illustration. Opportunity was provided to produce a great volume of work that contributed to the development of a very direct style. There's a "presence," an intimacy, that draws his viewers into the atmoshpere of his art.
