Precious portrait of a young child in a oval form and nice gilt frame.Provenance: The grandchildren of Frank Von der Lancken (1872-1950). By descent of the family, through his widow Giulia, then passed on to their son, Julian, who then gifted this collection to his children upon Frank's death. This piece was also displayed at Hirschl & Adler Galleries in New York City in 2017 and 2018.Frank Von Der Lancken was born in Brooklyn in 1872. Von der Lancken had exceptional talent and a great passion for teaching. He was very influential, however not always recognized as his commitment lied with teaching instead of any possible fame he could have received. His training and experience equaled that of any leading artists at that time. He taught at some of the most progressive art schools in America including the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn NY, where he began his education. By the time of Frank von der Lancken’s death in 1950, the Philbrook Art Museum had begun to establish Tulsa’s reputation as a national center for the arts. Admiringly referred to as, “the first family of art in Tulsa”, the von der Lanckens lived to see their city’s cultural potential fulfilled after twenty-four years of painting and teaching there. As for Frank’s own potential, he seemed satisfied with a career path that led him away from the limelight under which he was trained, toward the artistic obscurity of his final years. Through his visions on canvas and his teachings in the classrooms of New York, Connecticut, and the Midwest, this quiet, unassuming artist became one of the louder exponents of the Arts and Crafts movement.Sight: 9 x 7 in.
