Robert Franke was born Rye New York in 1928, and in 1937 began painting in oils using the paintbox that once belonged to his grandfather. Like most primitive artists he was self taught. He worked in New York extensively in theatrical set design and trained in interior design. He moved to for Key West in 1970.
