Roelof Frankot (25 October 1911, in Meppel – 1 December 1984, in Heeten) was a Dutch painter.[1]

Frankot studied photography. In 1930, he started painting. He later had a strong relation with the CoBrA movement, and his artworks are quite similar to some of the art from the CoBrA movement. They are very abstract and spontaneous paintings in strong colours. Oil on canvas was his preferred medium. Publications with his art were occasionally accompanied by small poems that he wrote himself. Frankot has been considered an innovator of Dutch art with all its great traditions. Frankot died at the age of 73 from cancer.[citation needed]

Frankot's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.[2]

During his career Frankot made a huge number of exhibitions in Europe, the United States and Latin America.[citation needed]
