Artist Biography
American Realist Portrait Painter
Born: March 31, 1923 — Krebs, Oklahoma - Died: September 27, 1983 — Solon, Ohio
Sometimes known as Tony De Frange or A. DeFrange, Anthony De Frange was a skilled realist figure painter in San Francisco who specialized in portraits of celebrities and homo-erotic art. A member of the San Francisco Gay Community during the 60's and 70's, he was the first gay artist to have his gay art publicly shown in a San Francisco gallery. His work was shown at the Geary Gallery and in many venues including the cover of "California Scene." His paintings are currently in the collection of the Leslie/Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York. His work includes portraits of Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Tyrone Power, Alan Ladd, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Jean Harlow, Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Jeanette MacDonald, Johnny Mathis, John F. Kennedy, Alan Bates, and more..... For more information, please see the web page called Tyler and Brad's Index to Early Gay Publications & Periodicals: "Tony DeFrange: Artist of a Generation".Mr. De Frange was born in Oklahoma in 1923 of Italian parents. As a boy he copied advertisements and sketched portraits of his family. His maternal uncle, Vincent Carano, was a fine sculptor in Italy, and on a visit in 1931, he urged his parents to cultivate Mr. De Frange's talents. He studied at the Cleveland School of Art for four years, and won many awards for his oils. Many of his portraits hang in the homes of celebrities all over the world. Among the owners of his paintings were Mae West, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Completely dedicated to his work, he would sometimes paint around the clock.
A listed American artist, De Frange's painting of Bette Davis in "Now Voyager" sold at auction for $5,000 in 2014, and his portrait of a mature Joan Crawford sold for $4,000 in 2017. In 1970, legendary actress Mae West purchased his portrait of herself as she appeared in the film "Myra Brkinridge", and paid De Frange $2,500 for it, which today is equivalent to over $16,000, adjusted for inflation.
