== = = == =Annie and Myranda's Page= __Franz Kline__ He was born on May 23, 1910 in Pennsylvania. He studied at Boston University for 4 years and then the School Of Art, London for a year. He eventually settled in New York where he began his career as an artist by discovering a representational style of paintings. This then turned into some form of Cubism and Social Realism. He discovered himself as an Abstract artist and kept things fresh with his new interpretations and increasing use of color. He had a very successful career and showed the world a new side of art. He is known for his extreme simplicity and the elegance of his huge, carefully balanced masses shown in his paintings. He died ten days before his 52 birthday on May 13 1962 in the city where he began his lifetime career and achievements. Why? He used this style of painting because he wanted to go against the grain and make himself an established artist by standing out. He expressed his ideas and feelings through his artwork and spread his words around as his fame grew.
