tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81785522024-03-13T15:28:25.737+01:00Diary of a tyro art promoterThis started in 2004 as a diary of what happened as I was promoting the art of my aunt, Hannah Frank, b. 1908, a Glasgow artist and sculptor, who studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1920s and beyond. My aunt died at the age of 100 in December 2008 but there's still lots going on: she was given Glasgow University‘s only posthumous doctorate, and she has achieved her wish of her art becoming ‘footsteps on the sands of time‘.

Aberdeen Synagogue and Jewish Community Centre, in the city’s Dee Street, have had to raise £10,000 towards repairs. Members have been forced out of their synagogue after a major flood that was caused by a faulty washing machine. The amount is the shortfall from what the congregation expects to receive from its insurer. Total repair costs are expected to be £30,000.<br />
The prints we have made available are 'In thoughts from the visions of the night' and 'Night' which usually retail at £200 for each print. We are offering them at £100 each, with all proceeds going to the synagogue appeal.<br />
My aunt signed a limited number of prints during her lifetime which makes these collectable. She completed these drawings, signed ‘Al Aaraaf’, her pen name, in 1930 </td></tr>

Hannah was deeply involved in the Jewish community throughout her life and illustrated many materials for Jewish organisations. Just before her 100<sup>th</sup> birthday she said: “In spite of being born in Glasgow, I regarded myself then as Jewish rather than Scottish. It was something you could not escape.” We feel sure that she would want to help the Aberdeen Synagogue and Jewish Community Centre.<br />

<span style="font-size: 12px;">We are sorry to hear that the Art Bronze Foundry, London, has temporary closed due to illness of its director, Philip Freiensener.<br />When Hannah turned to sculpture in 1952, studying under Benno Schotz, she had most of her sculptures cast at the Art Bronze Foundry. She worked with Philip's predecessor and great uncle, Michael Gaskin, to ensure the very best quality bronze casting. We have always had really great service from them and our thoughts are with Philip for a full recovery.</span></h3>

Welcome to our annual roundup as we head towards Chanukah

been a labour of love with much excitement and many surprises. This year was no
exception. And we have some great Chanukah and Christmas present ideas for you
too. <o:p></o:p></div>

For much of the year we were focused on the exhibition, <a href="https://www.nationalgalleries.org/whatson/on-now-coming-soon/modern-scottish-women/">Modern
Scottish Women - Painters and Sculptors, 1885 to 1965</a>. This ran at the
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh, from 7 November 2015 until
26 June this year. The exhibition featured Hannah’s sculpture, 'Woman and Bird'

This exhibition, opened by Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister
of Scotland, and the accompanying catalogue, were especially important because
they revealed and celebrated the contribution made by Scottish female artists
to this chapter of Scottish art history for the first time. We were delighted
to contribute an in-depth article for the sumptuous catalogue. This is one of
the most challenging writing jobs that we've tackled and it was well worth it because
the catalogue sold out!<o:p></o:p></div>

of a magnificent project – <a href="http://www.waveparticle.co.uk/7-arches">a
public art installation by WAVEparticle and the Gorbals Art Project and made by
Liz Peden</a>. This art, covering the wall of three massive arches under a
railway bridge at Cleland Street, in the Gorbals, Glasgow, commemorates three
people who were born in that district who had played important roles in the
world. They were Allan Pinkerton, founder of Pinkerton's Detective Agency,
Benny Lynch, world flyweight boxer, and Hannah Frank, artist and sculptor! <o:p></o:p></div>

Alison Thewliss, MP for Central Glasgow, launched the event.
I was privileged to unveil the Hannah Frank arch, aided by a schoolchild from
St Francis primary school. David Barcelo from Glasgow City Council has done a
terrific job reclaiming the site, turning it from a tip to a beautifully
landscaped area full of art. The arches are illuminated after dark making this
time of year a terrific one to view. We hope to work further with WAVEparticle and host a larger exhibition in the arches area in 2017. <o:p></o:p></div>

a very Scottish collection of lyrical, and at times political, poems ranging in
theme from Mary, Queen of Scots to Trident, but always with a focus on the
natural world. Female experience is expressed through mythical and historical
characters and includes a sequence exploring the way childbirth has been viewed
by the medical establishment over the last century.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Dear Loyal Hannah Frank Fans!</strong><br />
<strong>I can't believe it's been nearly a year since our last newsletter....there's lots to report this year! starting with.....</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong><span class="il">HANNAH</span> <span class="il">FRANK</span> INCLUDED IN PRESTIGIOUS EXHIBITION AT SCOTTISH NATIONAL GALLERY OF MODERN ART</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> We are delighted that <span class="il">Hannah</span>’s art will feature in a new exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. This major exhibition is called ‘Modern Scottish Women: Painters and Sculptors, 1885-1965’. It runs from Saturday 7 November to Sunday 26 June 2016. The exhibition includes <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span>'s sculpture 'Woman and Bird.’ </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br style="line-height: 100%;" />• Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 75 Belford Road, Edinburgh, EH4 3DR. See <a href="https://www.nationalgalleries.org/whatson/on-now-coming-soon/modern-scottish-women/" style="color: #2f82de; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">www.nationalgalleries.org </a>for more information.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br style="line-height: 100%;" />‘Modern Scottish Women’ is accompanied by a lavishly-illustrated book based on new research, to which we contributed an article. The book, with the same title as the exhibition, was edited by Alice Strang, and you can <a href="https://www.nationalgalleries.org/shop/online-shop/category/628/product/24743" target="_blank">find it here.</a> I’ve just received my copy – and having read the biographies of the 60 or so women included in the exhibition (and the book), I’m finding it amazing that any women ever managed to produce art at all, given that they had to give up work on marriage, they weren’t encouraged to study, they had to give up their studios to their husbands….. <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span>’s husband Lionel Levy was always immensely supportive. Hannah like all other Scottish women of the time had to give up teaching on marriage, though she continued to work as an artist till her nineties… </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br style="line-height: 100%;" /><strong><span class="il">HANNAH</span> FEATURES IN EXHIBITION OF SCOTTISH BOOK DESIGNERS AND ILLUSTRATORS</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> At the same time as the Modern Scottish Women exhibition, there’s an exhibition of Scottish Women Illustrators and Book Designers, in the Keiller Library at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. It runs from Saturday 7 November to the end of June 2016, with a print from <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span> coming in the second hanging starting in March 2016.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>REPEAT SHOWING IN INVERNESS – 11 YEARS LATER!</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> When <span class="il">Hannah</span>’s work was first exhibited at the Riverside Gallery, Inverness, in 2004, her art had just embarked on this new, exciting journey of discovery by a whole new audience. As regular readers will know since then her work has been exhibited extensively across the UK and in America, receiving public and critical acclaim and much media coverage.<br style="line-height: 100%;" /> This year her work returns to The Riverside Gallery. This came about because some members of Inverness’s tiny Jewish community were very interested in hearing more about <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span>’s life. We’re really pleased that the gallery welcomed the opportunity of a repeat show in the city. </div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br style="line-height: 100%;" /><strong>RIVERSIDE GALLERY RECEPTION BUFFET AND TALK</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> On Thursday 26 November there will be an opening reception buffet at 5 pm sponsored by the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities followed by a talk by Fiona <span class="il">Frank</span> at 7pm. The subject will be "<span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span>: Art, Religion and the Environment" and forms part of Scottish Interfaith Week. There will be ample time for discussion – about the representation of the environment in different faith traditions….<br style="line-height: 100%;" /><br style="line-height: 100%;" /><strong>SIX PAGE FEATURE IN “NORTH MAGAZINE”</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> We wrote a 1000 word, illustrated, six page article about <span class="il">Hannah</span> for the North Magazine, based in Inverness. This accompanies the upcoming <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span> exhibition at the Riverside Gallery. (See story above.) Look out for it! </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<br style="line-height: 100%;" /><strong>SPECIAL OFFER ON PRINTS UNTIL JUNE 2016</strong><br style="line-height: 100%;" /> To celebrate this flurry of <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span> activity we are offering two for the price of one prints (cheaper print free) until June when the fantastic exhibition in Edinburgh closes. Go to the <span class="il">Hannah</span> <span class="il">Frank</span> website <a href="http://www.hannahfrank.org.uk/" target="_blank">www.hannahfrank.org.uk</a>, click on the gallery, choose any two prints – the offer applies to the more expensive signed prints as well as the digitally reproduced prints – put your first choice in the order form and your second choice in the ‘notes’ (email first <a href="mailto:hannahfrankart@gmail.com" target="_blank">hannahfrankart@gmail.com</a> to check availability).</div>

Our main news this month:<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>WEB EVENT: SPECIAL OFFER!</b></h3>
<br />
If you would like to give Hannah Frank prints as Christmas presents (or even to welcome in the New<br />
Year) then we have a very special offer for you. Our beautiful clean new website launches at midnight UK time on Wednesday 10th December this week.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8gjP2p98NOMBJ-fqROFfvk5U2GLW2AqQROleIo5xXeCGgszhhUv7xodQewspS4v6pmwLID7jejBiwjKsuiVDRd-yhMTbQWcjPMYV8gHPxdZtKtRhbfdfyvhRm3sEUEC7gFdt/s1600/website.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN8gjP2p98NOMBJ-fqROFfvk5U2GLW2AqQROleIo5xXeCGgszhhUv7xodQewspS4v6pmwLID7jejBiwjKsuiVDRd-yhMTbQWcjPMYV8gHPxdZtKtRhbfdfyvhRm3sEUEC7gFdt/s1600/website.png" height="153" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
To celebrate we’re offering a two for one offer on orders of prints right up to the end of the year. (Cheapest print free of course). Just choose your first print then write in the name of your second print choice in the comments box in the order form. <br />
<br />
The new website will be at the same address as the old one, ie www.hannahfrank.org.uk, but will have the gallery much more accessibly laid out, lots of lovely poetry links, and will be easier to keep updated.<br />
<br />
I'm very pleased to have support from Tony Haslam at Reliable Green Web, and from Fiona McKinnon, our new Web Intern. Fiona is a Dundee based art student (see below for how she arrived on the scene). Thanks to Lauren Pass for designing the new look of the site. Also sending many thanks to Fiona Fahlin for years of fantastic service - wishing Fiona lots of success in the new things she's doing. There seems to be a 'Fiona' link here - if you're called Fiona and would like to come and help with the Hannah Frank art project, get in touch! <br />
<br />
And please have a look round the site and let us know if you find any glitches - I'll be happy to send you a set of Hannah Frank notelets for your troubles if you find any problems, missing links or discrepancies on the site.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<br />CULTURAL CONNECTIONS SUCCESS</h3>
<br />
The Cultural Connections Festival at Rozelle House, Ayr closed with much celebration after a packed summer. The main focus was an exhibition of work by Hannah Frank, her teacher and mentor, Benno Schotz, and Joseph Herman plus photographs of Scots Jews in the 21st century by Judah Passow. Many events ran throughout the festival including art classes, guided tours, storytelling,<br />
stained glass workshops, dance workshop and a <a href="http://www.scojec.org/news/2014/14ix_musical_odyssey/ayr.html">final concert and dance. </a> As part of the festival, we held a conference on Scottish Jewish Life and Scottish Jewish Arts, 1914 to 2014: filmmaker Sarah Thomas (pictured below) came to introduce 'Hannah Frank, The Spark Divine' - the beautiful film she made about my aunt to mark her centenary.<br />

<br />
An education pack for upper primary children was developed as part of the festival, and teachers can download the pack for free from our new website (go to the 'poetry' tag).<br />

<h3>
<br />HANNAH FRANK INTERNS DISPEL NOTION OF WORK FOR FREE</h3>
<br />
Our five talented interns, who worked with Hannah Frank Art this Summer, have helped dispel the <br />
notion that graduates have no choice but to work for free to get a career foothold in the highly<br />
competitive creative industries sector.<br />
<br />
I was delighted to be invited to give a presentation at the Glasgow School of Art on 1 October. It was organised in partnership between Glasgow School of Art and Adopt an Intern and was called ‘Being an Intern in the Creative Industries’.<br />
<br />
Originally, I’d planned to take on two interns through the Adopt an Intern programme, which is a<br />
spin-off organisation from the Centre for Scottish Public Policy’s think tank and finds paid internships for graduates. In the end I took on *five* interns who all worked on the Cultural Connections Festival. Catherine Williamson, from Adopt an Intern, said: “It was great to hear from all of our speakers, including Fiona’s input about her drive and involvement in setting up the Hannah Frank project, as well as the other projects she is involved with, including the MacLaurin galleries internships. Historically, internships in the creative sector are often unpaid, making that essential first foot on the career ladder unattainable for many.”<br />
<br />
Angela Short, whose internship involved archiving and research plus a curatorial role, has already<br />
secured a full-time job with Low Parks Museum, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire. Angela was sponsored by the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, Glasgow.<br />
<br />
“Working on the Hannah Frank project gave me so much more experience and confidence which<br />
really helped in the interview. I am over the moon,” Angela said.<br />
<br />
Lauren Pass, illustrator, who created a two dimensional timeline to depict events and milestones in<br />
Hannah's life and career, said: “The internship showed me how my skills can contribute to<br />
collaborative projects like this.”<br />

<br />
The other interns working on the project over this summer were Maria Simou, working with Hannah Frank Art, on social media and in a curatorial role, and Marzanna Antoniak, events, who worked with the Maclaurin Gallery. Additional support from the gallery meant that award-winning photographer, Claire Maxwell, was offered an internship. Her photographs were exhibited during the last two weeks of Cultural Connections. <br />
<br />
Other speakers at the event were Sarah Drummond, co-founder of Snook, Keith McIvor, DJ and founder of Optimo Music/Optimo Espacio and Dylan Paterson, Business and Events Officer at the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Society.<br />

STUDENT VOLUNTEERS SERVICES AFTER THE TALK </h3>
<br />
One workshop attendee contacted me the very next day to offer her services! She is Fiona<br />
McKinnon, currently studying Fine Art and Philosophy at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee - she didn't want a full time internship but has been doing a few hours a week ever since, helping to migrate the website to its new site. <br />

<h3>
HANNAH FRANK ART COMES FULL CIRCLE AT NAIL FACTORY</h3>
<br />
Hannah’s art is getting a second showing at The Nail Factory, Dalbeattie, Dumfries & Galloway. Still time to visit as the show ends on 19 December. Hannah’s drawings and sculpture comprised the<br />
little gallery’s biggest ever exhibition in summer 2013 and enthralled visitors. Nail Factory curator, Rupinder Dulay, said: “This new Hannah Frank exhibition follows on from the Glasgow Girls exhibition in Kirkcudbright which ran this summer. We will showcase a number of original Hannah Frank prints and a greater range of sculpture than we did last year. Visitors were absolutely enchanted by her work and asked to see more.”<br />
<br />
Bringing my aunt’s work to this gallery in for a second time is a real honour. I am in no doubt that<br />
even more people in this part of Scotland will come to love her work as much as her other fans.<br />
<br />
The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC) will host an evening gathering at the end of the exhibition for Chanukah on Thursday 18 December from 6.30pm.<br />

<h3>
HIDDEN HANNAH FRANK POSTERS FOUND AFTER 18 YEAR SEARCH</h3>
<br />
This story was a real bolt from the blue! Steven Hill contacted us by email, saying: "About 18 years ago I bought an old loudspeaker in a charity shop in Oban. As I've done since childhood, I proceeded to take it apart to see how it works. When I took the back off there was a ‘corrugatedly’ folded piece of wadding material, some old newspaper pages and two posters of your aunt's design rolled up, scroll fashion.” He added: “It was love at first sight. Sadly, I no longer have them. Life got in the way and I guess they are in a loft in Taynuilt with some of my other lost items. I wish I could remember the details of the poster's design, aside from the fact that there was a woman in a long flowing dress.”<br />
<br />
Steven tried to trace the design, which he thought featured as a poster for an art exhibition, but<br />
without success. “Do you know of the poster I found?” he asked.<br />
<br />
I immediately suspected that it was the poster for the exhibition Hannah Frank: Drawings of Thirties.<br />
It was held at the Charles Frank shop on Forrest Road, Edinburgh, from 21 August - 9 September<br />
1972 as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.<br />
<br />
This is the image we have subsequently used on our paper Hannah Frank shop catalogue and it was<br />
in a conference brochure some years ago.<br />
<br />
I sent Steven a picture. His response: “THAT IS IT!!! The very one. I am tingling all over! No kidding. Wow. There were two copies of it in fairly pristine condition. I very much regret being such a numbskull to leave such things behind. Thank you so much. You've really made my<br />
day/week/month/year."<br />

The name of the new owner of the drawing will be unveiled on this special Hannah Frank evening. Let’s hope she likes it!</div>

<b style="background-color: transparent;">A Conference: Scottish Jewish Arts and Scottish Jewish Life</b></div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
On 14 and 15 September The Scottish Council of Jewish Communities (SCoJeC) and the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre (SJAC) are hosting a conference at the Maclaurin Gallery during the last week of the exhibition, as part of the European Week of Jewish Culture and Heritage (14-21 Sept 2014). Highlights include:<br />
• Harvey Kaplan, Director of the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre, speaking on the history of the Jewish community in Ayr, including the emerging story of Susanne Schaefer-Buck, fostered by the Hamilton Family of Rozelle House (where the Maclaurin Gallery is set) during the war. <br />
• A presentation on the Scottish Government funded inquiry Being Jewish in Scotland, with a panel and discussion on the contemporary experience of 'Being Jewish in Scotland' and how the Jewish experience relates to that of other minority identities.<br />
• A chance to see the film ‘Hannah Frank, The Spark Divine’ and to hear from Sarah Thomas, the film’s director, about how she made this film, which came out in 2008 to celebrate my aunt’s 100th birthday and which was launched at the Scottish Parliament.<br />
• Talks about Scottish Jewish artists and talks BY Scottish Jewish artists</div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
On Sunday 21st September there’s a special kosher lunch, followed by a concert of Klezmer, Baroque and Scottish music with the fabulous international Adrianne Greenbaum trio.</div>

<b>LINKS WITH EDUCATION CONTINUE</b><br />
Regular readers will know that Hannah’s art has been exhibited across the length and breadth of the UK as well as internationally. Fascination with her work has led to several innovative projects, particularly in the field of education. You may recall the national Hannah Frank poetry competition in Scotland in 2009. Her art has also inspired teachers and pupils at schools in the UK and in California. The Maclaurin exhibition continues the links between Hannah Frank and education. In partnership with the Ben Uri Gallery, London, we are developing a Learning Pack for schools, linking the work of Hannah Frank and Benno Schotz with trees, the environment, and Jewish traditions; and we are inviting schools from all over Scotland to visit the exhibition during September to work with the Learning Pack. </div>
<div style="line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<b>INTERNS MAKE VITAL CONTRIBUTION</b><br />
Our three Hannah Frank graduate internships have helped make The Maclaurin exhibition possible.<br />
Not only have they helped with setting up the exhibition, they are carrying out other vital work to preserve and promote knowledge about Hannah’s art, life and her Jewish heritage.</div>

The three interns are Marzanna Antoniak, who has worked with curator Dianne Gardner at the Maclaurin Gallery to set up the events programme, Angela Short, who is working with the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre to complete the archiving of the Hannah Frank and Lionel Levy Collection there, and also helping with the curating of the exhibition, and Maria Simou, who’s been working on social meda and also working with Angela on the brilliant, detailed information labels you’ll see in the Hannah Frank section of the exhibition. Plus we have an award-winning photographer Claire Maxwell, a Glasgow School of Art graduate herself, who has been documenting all the work setting up the exhibition, and who will have her own show at the Maclaurin Gallery from Sunday 7th September – and Lauren Pass, who has produced a fantastic illustrated timeline linking Hannah’s art works with the archival material, which you’ll be able to see at the exhibition. Here's a small part of it.....</div>

In fact she was synonymous with it. We were horrified when the fire broke out there in May and I wept at the loss of the Mackintosh Library, the students’ and staff’s work and irreplaceable documents and artworks. My aunt donated a bronze and plaster cast of ‘Reclining Figure 1975’ to the GSA some years ago, and we haven’t had news yet as to whether these pieces have survived. </div>

We are getting lots of new likes for our Facebook page. This is a great way to keep people updated on a regular basis and the posts give rise to conversations and, in some cases, reminiscences. We have been posting discoveries from the Scottish Jewish Archives there too. For example, we posted a sketch from Hannah Frank's personal diary (Saturday 19 March 1927) portraying herself as proud of her new university tie which engaged fans. You can join us at<br />

<b>FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITIES: TWO PAID GRADUATE INTERNSHIPS</b><br />
These exciting opportunities come via the Scottish Government’s
Adopt-an-Intern scheme under the auspices of the Centre for Scottish
Public Policy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Post One: Paid Graduate Internship – Assistant Curator and
Researcher - with the Hannah Frank Art Project</b><br />
The post is based in Glasgow and Ayr. The pay is £7.65 per hour,
20 hours a week over 12 weeks, with some flexibility and the
potential for an extension (funding dependent). Immediate start.
<b>Closing date for applications: 3 March 2014, 5pm.</b><br />
<br />
<br />
You can see the full job description <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ayrintern1">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is a wide-ranging role that will provide superb experience for
the right applicant. The post is divided into three parts. The intern
will work at the <b>Maclaurin Gallery</b>, Ayr, helping to locate
Hannah Frank works that will go on display there between 26 July and
22 September 2014. There are other curatorship tasks too. This work
will be invaluable to the Hannah Frank Project and could be continued
in a future project.
<br />
<br />
<br />
Then there’s the work at the <b>Scottish Jewish Archives Centre</b>.
The letters, scrapbooks and other documents in the Hannah Frank and
Lionel Levy collection that remain uncatalogued need to be entered on
an Excel sheet with a description of their contents.
<br />
<br />
<br />
And lastly, but, of course, importantly, the intern will work
closely with me on the <b>Hannah Frank Art Project</b>. You’ll help
develop and expand Hannah Frank's presence across different online
platforms and help to increase sales from the online shop.
<br />
<br />
<br />
The post will be based at Garnethill Synagogue in Glasgow city
centre and at the Maclaurin Gallery in Ayr. You can do some of
this work at home and there will also be a base at the Glasgow
Women's Library in Glasgow city centre.<br />

<b>Post Two: </b>Paid Graduate Internship - Arts Events Intern
with the Maclaurin Gallery, ‘Cultural Connections’ Summer
Festival. Location: Ayr/Glasgow. £7.65 per hour, 240 hours (7 – 10
hours per week) between March and September.<b> </b><b>Closing date
for applications is 3 March 2014, 5pm.</b><br />
<br />
The Maclaurin Gallery, Ayr, is holding a summer festival of Jewish
art and culture from 26 July to 22 September 2014. The focus is on
the works of Benno Schotz, Joseph Herman and…Hannah Frank! An
exhibition of new photographs of Jewish life in Scotland by
photographer Judah Passow will also be on show.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a>The intern will help develop a programme of
activities to accompany the exhibitions. These activities could
include talks, guided tours, and arts and crafts workshops, for
example, encouraging adults and children to create their own
responses to the exhibition in various media, through drawing,
painting, sculpture, poetry or dance. Along with other organisations
the intern will work with the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities,
and Forestry Commission Scotland.<br />
<br />
The post is based at the Maclaurin Gallery in Ayr but some of the
work could be home based. The intern could also work at the Scottish
Council of Jewish Communities office in Giffnock, South Glasgow.
<br />

<b>GLASGOW UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ PRESENTATION ON HANNAH FRANK</b><br />
Four third year students from the University of Glasgow’s
Theology and Religious Studies department will give a presentation on
the life and work of Hannah Frank in March. This is part of their
Modern Judaism course. In order to prepare the presentation the
students visited the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre at Garnethill
where they looked through the Hannah Frank and Lionel Levy
collection, and I also took them to see the original art at
Westacres, Newton Mearns, the care home where Hannah spent her last
years. The students are also planning to update the Hannah Frank
Wikipedia page. <br /><br />

<b>HANNAH’S DRAWING ‘GARDEN’ FEATURES IN SHABBAT SERVICES
PROGRAMME </b>
<br />
Betsy Stein, from Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States,
contacted us. She is a member of Congregation Shearith Israel
Sisterhood in Atlanta and her group led Shabbat services on February
22. The group used a reproduction of ‘Garden’ from 1932 on the
front cover of its programme.
<br />
Betsy has promised to send me a hard copy of the programme. We
look forward to seeing it.

<span style="color: mediumblue;">FIVE YEARS ON </span><br />
As I write this I reflect that it was five years ago today that I was
privileged to be with my aunt when she died, at the age of 100,
peacefully, at Westacres Care Home in Glasgow (18 December 2008). Since
then her legacy has continued to grow. On this very day five years ago, a
letter had arrived at my house in Lancaster offering my aunt the
honorary doctorate in celebration of her services to art. She never
knew about the award, as I was in Glasgow with her – but eventually the
university was persuaded to award the doctorate posthumously to her –
the only posthumous doctorate that Glasgow University has ever awarded.
I went with my sister Lynn to collect the award and we were treated
like royal guests for the whole occasion – and I get invited back to
Glasgow University's Commemoration Day every year for the awards of more
honorary doctorands, which always brings back the memories of that
first occasion.<br />
Since then my aunt was also awarded a posthumous Lord Provost’s award
from Glasgow City Council. And we have had two exhibitions in Shetland,
one in Dalbeattie, three in Glasgow and two in Lancaster since her
death... with more to come, it seems! And we have met new friends and
fans of her work from across the globe. The journey continues...<br />
<span style="color: mediumblue;">MACLAURIN GALLERY TO DEVOTE A ROOM TO HANNAH FRANK</span><br />

Sunday 28 July: on the last day of
the exhibition join me, Fiona Frank, for a day out from Glasgow
visiting the Hannah Frank and Daniel Fuller exhibition at The Nail
Factory,Dalbeattiee. The exhibition has had such a positive response
from the public that the run has now been extended by a month to
finish on 28 July.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
exhibition we will have a chance to watch the film ‘Hannah Frank:The Spark
Divine', by Sarah Thomas. (It will be shown each Sunday at
2pm until the exhibition ends). We will return to Glasgow via the amazing <a href="http://www.marysmith.co.uk/glenkiln.asp">GlenkilnSculpture Park </a>where sculptures by Rodin, Epstein and Henry Moore – all influences
on Hannah Frank’s later work – form part of the landscape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some can be seen from the road but to take in
all six it’s necessary to be prepared to embark on a four mile walk, sometimes
in muddy conditions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Local writer Mary
Smith, who has written a beautiful piece on Hannah Frank in the latest edition
of <a href="http://www.dgblife.co.uk/">Dumfries and Galloway Life</a>, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>will be our guide. <a href="http://www.marysmith.co.uk/glenkiln.asp" target="_blank"></a></div>

early 70s, I was in Glasgow with my Ma; it was summer but I can't remember if
it was just a visit or whether she had come up with me to prepare for the new
term. I can't remember exactly which city centre square we were in but we
noticed that Charles Frank [Hannah Frank’s father] had a retiral sale; his shop
sold telescopes and all sorts of optical stuff. My Ma thought it would be
interesting to have a rummage around and told me his sister, Hannah, was well
known as an artist. From the way she spoke about her, I now wonder if
she'd known her; they were the same age and must have been at Glasgow

was almost empty but as well as optical things, there were various arty things
still for sale. I remember a lovely, modernist chess set. Nearby, on the floor
was a tatty box containing prints by Hannah Frank; not many were
left. I scrambled around on the floor to have a good rummle through them.
Having selected one, I noticed another which had been signed by Hannah herself,
albeit in pencil. So, I bought that one too. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">My Ma
suggested I kept them in my bottom drawer and, when we got married, these two
prints were the first things I had framed and put on the wall. Then, I had them
framed in a shop in Kirkcudbright. Recently, I had them reframed in Jessie's
shop down in Wigtown. Apart from one being signed, both have that Aarif logo
and I've always wondered what that meant". </span>The two drawings Charlotte bought were Moon Ballet and Wrap
Thy Form in a Mantle Grey.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">An exhibition of Hannah's work will run from 2 - 30 June 2013 at <a href="http://www.nailfactory.org.uk/index.htm">The Nail Factory, Dalbeattie.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This refurbished Victorian workshop is at the heart of Dumfries and Galloway and is a multi-use</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">interactive art space. A selection of Hannah Frank’s prints and two original drawings will be on show in the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">stone building alongside 10 of her bronze sculptures - and there will be an opportunity to buy prints, cards and books. .</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rupinder Dulay, Curator at The Nail Factory, said: “We are proud to host a retrospective exhibition by Hannah Frank, organised by her niece, Fiona Frank, who has been instrumental in bringing</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">her aunt's work to life. The Nail Factory was a factory making cast iron nails 200 years ago, run by women, and Hannah Frank’s works will be exhibited next to those of Daniel Fuller, a Native </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">American artist who rediscovered his roots and culture to inspire many young artists in their struggle to accept their heritage.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The celebratory launch event with a wine reception and kosher buffet will take place on Sunday 2 June at 1pm. Hannah Frank was one of the first Jewish students to study at the Glasgow School of Art, and the buffet will be sponsored by the <a href="http://www.scojec.org/">Scottish Council of Jewish Communities</a>, in honour of the first showing of this Scottish Jewish artist’s work in Dumfriesshire, as part of its work to celebrate Jewish culture in Scotland.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also at the launch there will be a screening of the film ‘Hannah Frank, The Spark Divine’, by award-</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">winning filmmaker Sarah Thomas, which explores the life of the artist as a young woman through </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">her diaries and her poetry as well as her art, and includes interviews filmed with Hannah when she </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">was in her late 90s.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b><br /></b></span>
The Hannah Frank exhibition at <a href="http://www.shetland-museum.org.uk/">The Shetland Museum and Archives, Lerwick</a>, ended on Monday </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4 March. It was a great success. The show began just four days after Up Helly Aa, (as featured in </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the recent BBC drama ‘Shetland’) and I brought a little party of 8 people over from England, Scotland, and Iceland (!) to experience Shetland's amazing fire festival and stay on for the exhibition opening. Filmmaker Sarah Thomas who now lives in Iceland gave a talk at the opening reception, and showed her film ‘Hannah Frank - The Spark Divine’. I gave a personal tour of the exhibition, which included self-portraits of the artist as well as her trademark black and white drawings and her later bronze sculptures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Glasgow Women's Library (GWL) launched its illuminated letter project on 8 March, International Women’s Day. The Library invited women to write an illuminated letter to a heroine of their choice. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were delighted when Fiona Doubleday, who lives on the Isle of Arran, contacted us to say that she has chosen Hannah Frank as her heroine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She <a href="http://%20scottishislandmum.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/day-68-flow-and-stillness-lovely.html">wrote on her blog </a>about her illuminated letter artwork: “It’s a mixed media piece that attempts to celebrate two aspects of Hannah Frank’s work – flow and stillness. As a former dancer and choreographer I </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">see flow and stillness in all she created. Stillness in dance acts as a pause and, used properly, can </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">be a highlight. Hannah's work reminds me that life is full of beautiful pauses. But it is flow that </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">dominates her work. Using pastels as the primary media I have taken sections from her drawings </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and recreated them as small studies. I have added colour but kept the pallet limited in tribute to her </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">simplicity. I then added small details such as Liberty fabric, which is dominated by flowing lines, and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">wax resistant watercolour organic shapes. The next step will be to create the letter before putting </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the finishing touches to the whole piece.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fiona Doubleday’s blog is <a href="http://www.scottishislandmum.blogspot.co.uk/">here</a> and is well worth following.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fiona Doubleday isn't stopping at an illuminated letter: she is now writing a dance piece inspired by Hannah’s work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She is looking for six women, preferably ones who have never danced before. The piece will be created over around three days in the autumn on the Isle of Arran - and there may be some accommodation available too. Fiona is also seeking someone to write the score – a soundscape with melodic moments. And she also wants someone to film both the rehearsals and the performance and edit this to form part of the body of work around Hannah Frank. The locations for the dance piece will be <a href="http://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/brodick-castle-and-country-park-p248491">Brodick Castle’s nature garden</a>, set against the backdrop of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_Fell">Goatfell Mountain</a>, and also a moonlit beach.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In 2008 a conference took place at the University of Glasgow, 'Art Religion Identity', organised by Julie Clague from the University's Department of Theology in honour of Hannah Frank's 100th birthday. Some lectures took place at the University Chapel surrounded by Hannah Frank's 100th Birthday Art Exhibition, and in the evening of the first day of the conference coaches took delegates to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh for a reception in honour of Hannah Frank herself. Now, a book edited by Shulamit Reinharz and Julie Clague, a collection of the conference papers, is about to come out (Reinharz, Shulamit T and Julie Clague, ed. <u>Art, Religion and Identity</u>. Indiana University Press, 2013.) and you can read Shulamit's chapter online <a href="http://www.brandeis.edu/hbi/publications/workingpapers/docs/reinharz.pdf">here </a> - an examination of ten Jewish women artists, one for each of the decades of Hannah Frank's life. </span><br />

We're very excited that on Sunday 3rd February 2013 we're launching the latest (and nearly most northerly ever) exhibition of Hannah Frank's drawings and sculptures, at the Shetland Museum and Archives, Hay's Dock, Lerwick.<br />
<div>
AND - that this launch will be accompanied by the showing of the wonderful film HANNAH FRANK, THE SPARK DIVINE made by award-winning film-maker Sarah Thomas.<br />
Sarah will be giving a talk about the making of the film and we hope to get as many people as possible to come to the show and find out more about this amazing Glasgow artist, the late Hannah Frank (1908-2008). You can read more about her on <a href="http://www.hannahfrank.org.uk/">this website</a> and see more about the exhibition on <a href="http://www.shetland-museum.org.uk/exhibitions/020213_HannahFrank.html">the Shetland Museum and Archives website</a><br />

THE WORK of the iconic Glasgow Jewish Artist Hannah Frank has
come to Yell for the first time this summer and will also be on show next year
in Lerwick.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The exhibition opened at the Old Haa Museum, Yell, on Monday
30 July, runs until 19 August, and comprises drawings, prints and sculpture from
the artist’s 75 year career. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hannah was born in
1908. She studied at Glasgow University, graduating in 1930 and also attended
evening classes at the Glasgow School of Art from the 1920s for many decades. Her trademark black and white drawings are
resonant of the Art Nouveau period and contain a hint of Aubrey Beardsley and
Jessie King yet they are very much her own. She completed them between 1925 and
1952. After this she turned to sculpture, studying under Benno Schotz, who
became Her Majesty's Sculptor in Ordinary for Scotland.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fiona Frank, the
artist’s niece, attended the exhibition’s opening night where there was a
screening of the film ‘Hannah Frank – The Spark Divine’ by award-winning
film-maker Sarah Thomas. The film explores the life of the artist as a
young woman through her diaries and her poetry as well as her art, and includes
interviews filmed with Hannah Frank in her late nineties. Sculptor Andy Scott pronounced it “a very
wonderful short film”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Andrina Nisbet, Chairperson of the Old Haa Trust, said: “We
are proud of the standard of art we show here and to have an artist as
well-known as Hannah Frank is wonderful’.
Patricia Odie, a trustee, said “It was a pleasure to meet Fiona and be
part of the opening night. I love Hannah’s work!” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At the
exhibition at the Old Haa bronzes of Hannah’s sculptures are on sale as well as
reproductions of her drawings as prints, cards and sets of assorted notelets. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next year the
exhibition will run at the Shetland Museum and Archive, Hay’s Dock, Lerwick, from
2 Feb until 4 March 2013.<o:p></o:p></div>

I was offering Hannah Frank prints there when Adam Brawn Meek, an antiques dealer from Norwich, came forward. Adam was offered a set of Hannah Frank drawings in the 1970s. He bought four drawings and a set of woodcuts.<span> </span>‘Spirit of Delight’ was one of these drawings and had been hiding in his attic for 30 years!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><span lang="EN-GB">The drawing illustrates Shelley’s melancholy poem of 1824 and features a slender female figure in white with flowing hair and gown against a stark black background. Beneath the drawing, which is signed by the artist, Hannah has inscribed the words: ‘Rarely, rarely, comest thou – Spirit of Delight – Shelley.’<span> </span>My aunt sold a number of drawings in the 1970s to a dealer who came to her front door in Glasgow.<span> </span>Several have since surfaced in the Norwich area. The minimum on all drawings at this auction is £1000. This is the first time an original Hannah Frank drawing has come up for auction for many years and we’re very interested to see what interest there will be. <span> </span>One of Hannah Frank’s sculptures, a bronze head from 1954, is also being auctioned. <span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><b><span lang="EN-GB">The auction takes place at 6pm and you can either go in person, bid online or watch the progress of this auction - live on the McTear’s website.<span> </span>See<span><a href="http://www.mctears.co.uk"> their website</a></span><span> </span>for more info.<span> </span>(I’ll be watching live in Lancaster if you’d like to join me at my house....)</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(148, 54, 52); ">NOTELETS <span> </span></span></b><span lang="EN-GB">By popular demand – thanks to Beatrice Sofaer AND Arteria in Lancaster – we now have Hannah Frank NOTELETS.<span> </span>These are half the size of the normal cards, they come in packs of six assorted images, there are four different sets of assorted images, and each set costs £5.99 to buy (plus £1.50 p&p).<span> </span>They’re so new they’re not even on the website yet but you can see the makeup of the different sets <a href="http://tinyurl.com/62bxfar">HERE</a> . <span> </span>If you’d like to order one or more sets, either print off an order form and send it back to me with a cheque, or just email me your name and address and how many of which sets of notelets you’d like, and I’ll send you back a paypal invoice by return (or you can post a cheque, payable to Hannah Frank Art Sales, to the address on the order form.)<span> </span>You don’t even have to look at the document – just email me if you’d like me to choose you a ‘lucky dip’ pack.

<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(246, 246, 246); ">There has been lots of Hannah Frank-related news in 2011 - I have submitted my PhD (finally) and spent six months living in Glasgow finishing that off. That has kept me pretty much busy all year so I haven't been keeping this blog up at all. But I HAVE done a trade fair in Harrogate, donated a print to a 'riotraffle' to support small traders whose businesses were damaged by the August riots, and printed up 27 new cards to add to what's available on the Hannah Frank website. The next thing will be NOTELETS - to come in September, in response to demand from card-shop visitors to the Harrogate stall.<div>
<br /><div>I'm going to be doing another Hannah Frank stall at the Glasgow Autumn Trade Fair on 18/19 September at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre - stand K20. The show is free to the trade, go to the trade fair <a href="http://www.scotlandstradefairs.co.uk/" style="color: rgb(222, 112, 8); ">websit</a>e to complete a free registration form. At that stall galleries, card shops and others will be able to see how the 27 stunning new cards, the signed and unsigned prints, and books, would look in their outlets.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>The value and profile of Hannah Frank's work in Scotland is likely to be greatly increased this year. September will see a rare chance for discerning buyers to acquire an original Hannah Frank drawing. An early work, 'Spirit of Delight', dating from 1927 when the artist was only 19, has been lying in a Norwich loft for 30 years, and will be coming up for auction, together with one of Hannah Frank's first sculptures, a bronze Head 1954, at McTear's 'Fine Autumn Pictures Auction' in Glasgow on 27th September.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>At the SECC there'll be a FREE DRAW for a framed, signed and numbered Hannah Frank print of her drawing 'Dream', 1952, which retails at £350. The draw will be drawn at the end of the show, Monday 19th September. <b>If you won't be there but would like to be included in the draw,</b> *<b>post your business card or contact details</b>* to Hannah Frank Art Sales, c/o Fiona Frank, 3 Dalton Road, Lancaster LA1 3PR, England, to arrive by Wednesday 14th September 2011.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>Do get in touch if you want to stock Hannah Frank prints, cards, or sculpture, or would like to know more.</div><div>

This beautiful set of four drawings and two woodcuts has been in a private collection in Norwich for 30 years. They are now on show at the Hidden Lane Gallery Hannah Frank exhibition which runs till 30 October. Closing date for the Silent Auction is 4 p.m. on Saturday 30th October. You can bid, in increments of £20, in person at the gallery, or by phoning the gallery during gallery opening times (11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday). </div><div><br /></div><div>Gallery Tel no 0141 204 3139.</div><div>Hidden Lane Gallery 1081 Argyle St Finneston Glasgow G3 8LZ. </div><div>http://hiddenlanegallery.com</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The four drawings are:</div><div><br /></div><div>'Ex Libris Arthur Frank' 1929 Pen and ink. - this is a well-known image of a stylised Hannah Frank style woman, holding up a sheet of paper, with a mask by her feet - done originally in 1929 as a frontispiece for the GUM magazine. It is signed Al Aaraaf, the artist's pen name which she used for drawings in the GUM. The drawing and the image was used for many of the 1960s and 70s exhibitions posters, and covers for prints and cards catalogues. When the current owner bought it there were details of an Edinburgh exhibition from the 1970s on it - these details are on the back of the frame, but under those details were, in beautiful manuscript 'ex libris Arthur Frank' - a bookplate for the artist's younger brother, Arthur Frank (1915-2005). There are some 'whiteout' marks which you can see on the closeup photos and glue marks where the different exhibition information, etc, has been stuck on the drawing. Opening offer £2500. (10/9/10 - check with gallery for latest price)</div><div><br /></div><div>'Head with diamond floor' - unfinished drawing, pencil and pen and ink, 1934. The drawing is of a woman, in front of a window with a tree and typical Hannah Frank dark, close-drawn sky, with diamond tiled window ledge. The drawing is signed 'Hannah Frank' in pencil, in capital letters. Opening offer £1700. (10/9/10 - check with gallery for latest price)</div><div><br /></div><div>'Hopeless Love' - pen and ink drawing, 1929. This beautiful drawing is of a woman, facing the viewer, with a long dress, long pointed fingers, and typical eerie Hannah Frank trees and a closely drawn dark nightfall in the background. The words, in careful manuscript, are 'a lady murmuring low words of hopeless love'. Hannah Frank based many of her drawings on poetry - the original of this quotation is not known (please contact the artist's niece Fiona Frank if you have any information on this quotation). This is an untypical drawing of the period in that there is a lot of white in it - her early drawings of 1928/1929 are mainly in black with fine white lines marking the figures. Opening offer £2000 (10/9/10 - check with gallery for latest price). </div><div><br /></div><div>'Spirit of Delight' 1927 - pen and ink drawing. This very early drawing is of a woman, with long flowing hair and a long dress with a flowing train, silhouetted against a black background. The quotation is 'rarely rarely comest thou - spirit of delight' - which comes from a 1824 song of the same name by Shelley. Opening offer £2000 10/9/10 - check with gallery for latest price). </div><div><br /></div><div>The two woodcuts are mounted together. They were done between 1932 and 1934 when Hannah Frank studied wood engraving at the Glasgow School of Art.(She won the James McBey prize for wood engraving. They are both of the same image, at slightly different stages of the engraving. One is signed Hannah Frank in pencil. The image is of the artist's own bookplate - the wording is 'Ex Libris Hannah Frank - Al Aaraaf'. There is a representation of the artist, holding a pen in her left hand (she was, in fact, right-handed, but the engraving is done in mirror image), with, in the background the typical star, and double leafed tree that figures in many of her drawings. The poetry books and bottle of ink - the other tools of her trade - feature below - and the artist is holding a sheaf of drawings in her right hand. Opening offer £1500 10/9/10 - check with gallery for latest price.)</div><div><br /></div><div> </div><div>Sale price includes frame with acid free mount. Enquire for closeup photos of individual drawings Fiona Frank, the artist's niece - hannahfrankart@googlemail.com</div><div><br /></div><div>Also at the gallery - many more original Hannah Frank black and white drawings and sketches and a set of pastel life drawings from the 1950s which were only discovered in 2008 (and which are all for sale). Also bronze and plaster sculptures and a chance to buy cards, prints (some signed) and sculptures. </div><div><br /></div><div> </div></div>Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17175218061091840264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8178552.post-8889919833150492392010-09-13T18:17:00.004+02:002010-09-13T18:33:49.256+02:00Silent Auction at the Hidden Lane Gallery<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEkZIJ-47JzeWRHgcqlkzfo5oyPuRY9ezVilzA4EN8SvXGRjvPxTUPg_A53EPw59Po9gH6BPAberkymZcfsX5TdxLkNBjGHBQ_poOBp-B82-2GnatrJs8aUTxidQsZqWUoB5q/s1600/spirit+of+delight.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 205px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwEkZIJ-47JzeWRHgcqlkzfo5oyPuRY9ezVilzA4EN8SvXGRjvPxTUPg_A53EPw59Po9gH6BPAberkymZcfsX5TdxLkNBjGHBQ_poOBp-B82-2GnatrJs8aUTxidQsZqWUoB5q/s320/spirit+of+delight.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516434977650298946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPqqLkoUzPwbrIJSoj7KVE25gldKpZQDkkrzGHQbNB2E0ODJf5tpmj7GXr5xk641Qww9YKhSXAf24PI5FisH0p9VOmTaPFGZqGMj4yMGWWxP8d-DppB55Mk160kRa6WH56oOx/s1600/hopeless+love.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 241px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIPqqLkoUzPwbrIJSoj7KVE25gldKpZQDkkrzGHQbNB2E0ODJf5tpmj7GXr5xk641Qww9YKhSXAf24PI5FisH0p9VOmTaPFGZqGMj4yMGWWxP8d-DppB55Mk160kRa6WH56oOx/s320/hopeless+love.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516434971666334530" /></a><br />closes 4 p.m. on Saturday 30th October 2010.

This was Jewish New Year (I read the calendar wrong when I agreed the start date) so we have another evening reception coming up on Wednesday 6th October at 5 p.m. The exhibition looks fantastic and there are more sculptures on show than we've seen before anywhere in the last ten years since I've been involved in this project. The space is wonderful. We have poetry workshops coming up - it's all going very nicely.

About a year ago we deposited her diaries at the Scottish Jewish Archives and I asked him to photocopy all the pages which had bits in Greek letters, with an idea that one day I would get someone to decipher those bits. <br /><br />In the autumn some students from the Archiving MSc at Glasgow Uni did some cataloguing of my aunt's papers, letters, and diaries. I was very excited because one of them was actually Greek and I had high hopes of her being able to read the bits in Greek script. However because my aunt had a special way of transliterating English words in Greek, the student wasn't able to do this.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I had looked all over the house for the photocopies and hadn't been able to find them. AND LAST NIGHT (thanks to a 'flylady' [flylady.net] decluttering mission, I found them, neatly filed away in a special folder - and have spent half an hour this morning beginning to decipher my aunt's most secret thoughts! These early ones were all about going in for essay competitions, and how she was annoyed at her relatives reading her poetry without any emotion at all.... I look forward to communing with my aunt more and more over the next months (there are LOTS of Greek entries). There's something new in the 'Hannah Frank project' every month, as usual. In December it was the launch of the Poetry competition - last month the Children's Laureate endorsed the competition - this month, her secret thoughts!

As Children’s Laureate, I am very keen that we encourage young people to learn how to look at drawings and illustration; in fact, to encourage everybody to value the act of looking. Looking is just as important as words and this competition shows the value of both."Fionahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17175218061091840264noreply@blogger.com0
