Franz Kline was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, USA. He was an American painter. He is mainly associated with the Abstract Expressionist movement of the 1940s and 1950s. He is best known for large black and white paintings bearing abstract motifs set down with strident confidence. He studied art at Boston University from 1931 to 1935, then spent a year in England attending the Heatherly's School of Art in London. He taught at a number of institutions including Black Mountain College in North Carolina and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. In 1958 he was included in the Museum of Modern Art’s major exhibition, "The New American Painting", which toured eight European cities.
