From the 1920s he was in close contact with the Nötsch Circle around Anton Kolig. He traveled extensively and took an intense interest in Paul Cézanne, which brought him into contact with the art historian Fritz Novotny. After the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany in 1938, Gerhart and Christine Frankl fled to London. His parents stayed in Vienna and were later murdered in Theresienstadt concentration camp. With Novotny’s aid, Frankl returned to Vienna in 1947 for sixteen months. He processed his family’s fate in the 1961 cycle In Memoriam, using images of the Shoah published in the Daily Mail as references. Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/34897/rdf
