HANNAH FRANK (1908-2008) In Thoughts from the Visions of the Night, 1930 Original: Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow University.

McTear's

Lot 202

HANNAH FRANK (1908-2008) In Thoughts from the Visions of the Night, 1930 Original: Hunterian Art Gallery, Glasgow University. Exhibited Royal Glasgow Institute, 1930. Published Glasgow University Magazine, February 1931 Signed Al Aaraaf within the plate and signed `Hannah Frank` in pencil 40cm x 26cm Note : HANNAH FRANK, GLASGOW ARTIST, 1908-2008. Hannah Frank was born in Glasgow in 1908, and studied at Glasgow University and the Glasgow School of Art. She produced her hallmark black and white drawings, with their elongated structures, medieval romanticism and often melancholy air from the age of 17 in 1925. Between 1927 and 1932 the GUM, the Glasgow University Magazine, rarely came out without a drawing by `Al Aaraaf`, her chosen pen name. From the 1940s, after her marriage to mathematics teacher Lionel Levy, Hannah`s drawings became light-filled and exuberant. Hannah Frank turned to sculpture in 1952, studying with Benno Schotz, at the Glasgow School of Art. Hannah`s haunting drawings are resonant of he Art Nouveau period with a hint of Aubrey Beardsley and Jessie King. Hannah`s drawings, and her later sculptures, have been exhibited in the Royal Glasgow Institute, the Royal Academy, and the Royal Scottish Academy. Many Glasgow folk will be familiar with the drawings from when they were on show in the Frank family camera shops in the Saltmarket and in Queen Street in the 1950s and 1960s. From 2004 Hannah`s drawings and sculptures were exhibited throughout the UK and the USA in a tour which finished at Glasgow University in a retrospective exhibition which started on her 100th birthday, 23rd August 2008. In 2009 Hannah Frank became the first person ever to receive a posthumous honorary doctorate from Glasgow University, which was received on her behalf by her niece, Fiona Frank. A total of 17 of Hannah`s 75-plus black and white drawings were reproduced in the 1960s and 1980s to satisfy demand from admirers. Although the artist signed an unrecorded number of each print, only one-Dream, 1952-was numbered (edition of 250). Hannah`s ambition was, in the words of the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, to `leave footprints on the sands of time`. All proceeds from the sale of these prints and sculpture, which are being auctioned by Hannah Frank`s niece Fiona Frank, will go towards the mission to keep Hannah Frank`s name alive, through her website, future exhibitions, books and scholarly articles.
