	Franz Kline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franz Kline (May 23, 1910 - May 13, 1962) was an American painter mainly associated with the Abstract Expressionist group which was centered, geographically, around New York, and temporally, in the 1940s and 1950s; but not limited to that setting.
		While generally Franz Kline paintings have a dynamic, spontaneous and dramatic impact, it is interesting to learn how closely Kline refered to his compositional drawings.
		Kline's most recognizable method/style derives from a suggestion made to him by his friend Willem De Kooning.

	Franz Kline - Bio
		Franz Kline, a key figure of abstract expressionism and well known for his fl and white paintings, made a powerful contribution to the avant-garde movement.
		While some critics believed Kline’s fl grid patterns were magnified improvisations of signs and symbols found in oriental calligraphy, the artist denied any influence of the Orient in the development of his abstractions and emphasized his fascination with the urban beauty of New York.
		While Kline is identified primarily with his fl and white works, he was a distinctive colorist as well; the fl and white post-war years gave way to explorations in color.

		Franz Kline spent years struggling to find a style for himself and then achieved "overnight success" with his dramatic fl and white abstractions.
		Kline made his initial, admittedly modest, reputation as a figurative artist, and rare photographs of that early work--sketches from life-drawing class, portraits of Nijinsky, scenes of the Pennsylvania countryside--offer an intriguing background for his later paintings.
		Kline's development as an artist is a compelling study, and an evocation of an important time in our cultural history.

		Kline as a colorist has been seriously overlooked, and refutes his classification as strictly a fl and white painter.

		Stephen Foster was responsible for curating the European Franz Kline Retrospective (Franz Kline: Art and the Structure of Identity) dating from 1994-1995.
		Composing the exhibition dramatized the historical neglect that has befallen Kline and strengthened his determination to compose a comprehensive monograph for the artist and to initiate a much-needed catalogue of the work.
		Although there is general awareness of Foster’s Franz Kline project, this statement seeks to outline his objectives in a formalized way and further seeks to enlist the support of individuals and institutions concerned with Kline's historiographic fate.

	Dissertations, Essays on Franz Kline
		Among the leading painters of post-World War II Abstract Expressionist movement, Franz Kline developed his own highly personal form of art based more on “spontaneous expression in abstract design of the artist’s psychic states.”1 Abstract expressionism saw representation as the exact opposite of their main aim in painting.
		“Formal issues” such as color, lines, and shapes without recognizable representation is what Kline, like many other abstract expressionists, strove to portray in their paintings.
		In this world he has created a home that will set him apart from all other artists, a home that is invariably unique and distinct, and one that deserves to be looked at upon with reverence.
