FRANK MYRON HENRY, 1934–2013
by Karl Addison
Born in Long Beach, California, Henry's mother moved him to Phoenix just a few years later. It was while attending Phoenix College in the 1950s that he met Frank Lloyd Wright and the course of his life was set as he became the first person to receive a Bachelor of Architecture degree in Arizona. At the end of a 40-year career he served on as a member of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and as Studio Master emeritus for the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture he taught Hand Rendering and Perspective Drawing. In 2015 Berlin-based artist, Karl Addison, memorialized two creative icons of Phoenix—96-year-old sculptor John Waddell and Frank Henry—for 3rd St N creative agency, Kitchen Sink Studios. Utilizing color techniques developed over years of printmaking Addison's finely controlled hatch-lines—with each line important individually and to the whole—reflect his interest in the "social construct of individual versus community." @addisonkarl @kitchensinkstudios
