Frank Wright (1932 – August 9, 2020) was an American painter, professor of art for many years at George Washington University, and sixth-generation Washingtonian.[1][2]
Wright was born in Washington, D.C. He attended DC Public Schools graduating from Eastern High School in 1950.[3] From there, he attended American University on a scholarship from the National Society of Arts and Letters and received his BA, in 1954.[4] He then went on to do studies and research at the Berenson Villa I Tatti in Florence, (1956-1958) and post-graduate work at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University (1960-1961). The study he undertook at Bernard Berenson's Tuscan residence was on the relationship of Florentine painting to the Florentine theatre in the Quattrocento.[5] He received his master's degree in Art-History from the University of Illinois.[2]
