Product Description

Product Description
She was born Hannah Gluckstein in 1895 into the family that founded the J. Lyons & Co. catering firm. She had passionate affairs with society women, chose her own monosyllabic name and only exhibited her paintings in 'one man' shows. Her torrid personal life shocked her family, though the money she received from them allowed her to live in style. In the 1920s and '30s Gluck's portraits, flower paintings and landscapes, set in frames she designed and patented, were coveted by the rich and famous. At the height of her fame she stopped working, caught in a bitter campaign over the quality of artists' materials. Then, when nearly eighty, she returned to the limelight with a burst of creative energy. In this book Diana Souhami interweaves the pictures, people and events that made up Gluck's life.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinating, 3 April 2002
By J. Chow (Sleaford,United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Gluck was a fascinating figure, who was a great painter and retained a strong individuality throughout her life.
Her story gives an insight into life in the 20's and 30's as a historical document. It's well written and has many illustrations. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to anyone who is interested in biography or painting, or just as a good, interesting book.

By A Customer
Awesome Book about the lesbian painter Gluck (Hannah Gluckstein), with in depth information on her relationships with women and her desire to live her life "as a man".
