At the end of the war he lived in the district town of Birkenfeld / Nahe in the Hunsrück until the mid-1950s . A large number of drawings and watercolors were created here, which he was reluctant to hand over.

Quote

Heinz Schöffler, critic: “You can never see the best of your pictures through to the end. Clearly arranged, they give up puzzles, they always give more than they show. Last but not least, this characteristic makes that you can always have Edvard Frank's pictures around you. One is happy with them. "
