Myrtle Smart Frankovitz was born in 1895 in Fulton, IL to a coal miner father. She married Andrew Frankovitz in 1915 and moved to Deerfield, IL. Later, the family lived in Wilmette, IL. Her work is American-Scene and Social Realist in nature. Frankovitz exhibited at the All-Illinois Watercolor Exhibit in 1954 (where she won an award) and at other venues in the Midwest, and at the University of Arizona and other venues in the Southwest. An example of her work can be found in the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, MA. In the early 1950s, she and her family moved to Tucson, IL, where she died there in 1958. See less
