Signature help

Can’t recall where this came from but it’s been sitting around for a couple years now. First name possibly Frank? Second name looks like it starts in P and ends in sky maybe? Ran the artwork through google image and didn’t get a hit.

 

Frank Prosebrowsky, 1926? Nothing came up, nor did Frantz, and I'm not positive on the last name...........

 

Think the end of the surname is more likely to be '...trousky'.

 

There was a Frank PROSCHWITZKY, a British painter, sometimes with Freyburg added to his name. Can't find any prints by him, but not inconceivable from the style of his paintings.

I think your artist is F Proschowski .He has done some mixed media work that looks similar.Not able to get a signature to compare to as of yet.Maybe Debora might be able to help.

 

First name looks like Frantz? If so, Frantz Proschowski?

 

There is a Frantz Proschowski born in Denmark in 1869 , lived in New York who wrote music books,would fit age wise 57 in 1926 .Not able to find any information if he did any art work as well,maybe multi talented.

 

He died in 1957. The New York Times published an obituary on August 8, 1957, and spelled his last name Proschowski. However, I see his surname in other publications during his life spelled Proschowsky, with a y at the end. The NYT says his name was Frantz J. E. Proschowski. He also had a connection to Chicago, that being the first place he lived in the United States, starting in 1921. He came to New York in 1924, but still also was connected with a music school in Chicago. Besides being a musician and teacher, the obituary says that he was "an inventor of devices related to singing instruction." No mention of print making or other arts of that nature. So that doesn't really help.
