Simply charming painting and subject. Frank Reisz was born in Hungary and came to the United States as a young boy. His family settled in Cincinnati where Reisz completed high school and had the good fortune of studying under Frank Duveneck. He served in France during World War I. Upon his return he settled in New York City and worked as a commerciat artist, doing many illustrations in oil and watercolor for advertising, but his passion was for plein air landscape painting. He also sculpted, practiced photography and wood carving. Reisz was elected into the Salmagundi Club in 1944. He was also a membr of the Cincinnati Art Club.
