About the artist.
Frank Serratoni was born March 1, 1906 in Detroit, Michigan, and was the fifth child of nine. He was baptized Francisco Giovanni Serratoni. At an early age he showed promising art talent. He studied commercial art and ended as a watercolorist well known for his San Francisco scenes. At age 19, he won a contest on a "Greater Detroit" theme, and his subject was a river front civic center. This story of his winning artwork was carried on front pages of all Detroit and Windsor papers. He scored all "A"s at Cass Tech High School. Frank attended the Detroit Society of Arts & Crafts on a scholarship. It was "THE" school in South East Michigan and is now called The Center For Creative Studies.
Frank went to work in Chicago, and attended select classes at the Chicago Art Institute. In the late 1940's he moved to San Francisco where he first started a silk screen process with the San Francisco prints in the 1940's and other large prints.
Serratoni watercolors hang in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, CA and the exclusive men's club, Olympic, and his work is held in numerous private collections. He died in San Francisco in 1970. less
