Artist Biography
Bristol Savages artist Frank Mole came to Bristol from Bedfordshire in 1923 to take up the post of Art Teacher at East Bristol Central School. In 1933 he was elected an Artist Member and later served for 25 years as Secretary of the Tribe. He was a painter in watercolours and loved the countryside which he so often portrayed, but it was Cornwall which appealed to him most. In fact he developed a style of depicting Cornish scenes that became instantly recognised. He also worked in pastels and pen and ink and some of his drawings, such as the Oak Room Porch and the Fireplace, are magnificent for the accurate details produced. He was made a Life Member of the Bristol Savages and there are 36 of his evening sketches in their collection.
