Reviews of Frankl's work
Brochure for Hodé Frankl's One-Man Show at Creative Gallery in 1953.

An October 25, 1952 New York Times review of the Three-Man Show at the Creative Gallery stated that "Hodé Frankl's outdoor scenes of a land where it is always autumn and sunset are unbridled pieces of romanticism, poetic and satisfying."[1]

In the October 1952 issue of Art News, a reviewer identified as R.G. said of Frankl's work in the Three-Man Show that "In Hodé Frankl is a departure from the usual modern into a somewhat Innes school of thought. Browns tinge and tone most of the colors in pictures that stress the vastness of landscape and sky, as in Plainsland, where a tiny compact farm sets a scale to the distance."

In the November 1953 issue of Art News, a reviewer identified as B.H. (reviewing Frankl's One-Man Show at Creative Gallery) stated that "Hodé Frankl of New York shows for the first time watercolors and caseins that translate villages, shorelines, and city rooftops into a personal realism which emphasizes mood. Stretches of frost-turned grasses surround a nicely relaxed figure in Brown Study and creep to the edge of the water in Moorings.
