BIOGRAPHY:
Frank von der Lancken was a Brooklyn-born artist and teacher who chose to travel beyond the limits of New York to cultivate the arts across America. Indeed, by his death in 1950, von der Lancken had helped to create the Rochester Art League, establish the Kentucky Art Institute, and with his wife, Giulia, was known as "the first family of art in Tulsa." In addition to these entrepreneurial activities, Von der Lancken was renowned as a talented painter who created portraits in the style of the Arts and Crafts movement and impressionist landscapes inspired by his French and American contemporaries. As a youth, von der Lancken studied at the Pratt Institute, the Art Students League, the Academie Julian, and Academie Colarossi.
