Kleinholz (Lower Right) Oil on Board Image: 9.5 x 15.5 Frame: 18.5 x 24.5 Born in Brooklyn, New York, Frank Kleinholz was a painter based in New York City whose work spanned several art movements including Expressionism and Social Realism. His early works were intensely personal and reflected the influence of the Depression and the World Wars, but his palette lightened as he increasingly focused on families and the bonds between adults and children.  He was the son of a blind father and hard-working mother who supported the family with a delicatessen. From early childhood, he had to earn a living and sold newspapers and ran errands for local businesses. He graduated from Fordham Law School, and at age 23 was admitted to the bar.  In the mid-1930s, while practicing insurance as well as law, he began painting and print making with teachers including Yasuo Kuniy
