Diary of a tyro art promoter

This 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‘.

Bill Laughlin from 2Canvas, Stockwell St, Glasgow, with Hannah Frank in her room in the Care Home in Newton Mears with a 24"x30" canvas reproduction of 'Mocking Fairy' (1931) next to one of Hannah's original drawings, 'I sought him but I found him not' (1935). You can see one of her 'double figures' in the background, and also 'Girl at window' (1946). For more info about canvas reproductions of Hannah Frank's art - available from 1st Nov 2007 - go to the 2Canvas website on www.2canvas.co.uk . Part of the proceeds of every sale come back to us to help to 'make Hannah Frank a household name'.#
