The Jewish-Glaswegian artist, Hannah Frank, is enjoying something of a renaissance. Her career spans an amazing seventy-five years, beginning in the 1920s and continuing into this century, as she worked on into her early nineties. Her critically acclaimed sculptures and pictures are still being exhibited around the country – some are on show in the Glasgow care home where she has lived since 2002. Judi Herman visits Hannah there, in the company of her niece, Fiona Frank. Fiona is editing the diaries her aunt wrote, almost daily, as a young woman growing up in the artistic community of inter-war Glasgow.
Hannah Frank’s drawings, prints, sculptures, diaries and albums can be seen at the London Jewish Cultural Centre, at Ivy House in North London until 15 December 2006.
There will also be a 'Hannah Frank Experience Day' in Glasgow on Sunday 26 November 2006 at Gallery Templiers in Glasgow, with workshops and exhibitions – and health permitting, Hannah herself will be there. Further details from the Hannah Frank website .
‘Hannah Frank, A Glasgow Artist: Drawings and Sculptures’ is edited by Fiona Frank, and published by the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, ISBN 09511320556.Hannah Frank Website
