Frank Allen was born on the cusp of a spectacular era. The 20th century. 

An era which defined seismic transformation and embraced dynamic change.

He became part of the movement towards a new freedom of expression.

Interrupted by the horrors of two wars, he witnessed the aftermath of building a brave new world.

He contributed as his own man, his own artist, an independent thinker, he worked diligently and committed his entire life to answer the infinite question about the value of art within oneself and society.
