About Hannah Frank

Hannah Frank was an artist and sculptor from Glasgow, Scotland. She was known for her Art Nouveau monochrome drawings until she decided to concentrate on sculpture in 1952. The Franks lived in Glasgow's Gorbals district, where there was a strong Jewish immigrant community, first in Abbotsford Road and later in South Portland Street. Frank won the GSA evening class prize in 1929 for Sorcery (the drawing that was bought by the former editor of GUM) and the James McBey prize for wood engraving in 1934.
