Hannah Gluckstein (who called herself Gluck; 1895-1976) was a
distinctive, original voice in the early evolution of modern art in
Britain. This handsome book presents a major reassessment of
Gluck's life and work, examining, among other things, the artist's
numerous personal relationships and contemporary notions of gender
and social history. Gluck's paintings comprise a full range of
artistic genres-still life, landscape, portraiture-as well as
images of popular entertainers. Financially independent and
somewhat freed from social convention, Gluck highlighted her sexual
identity, cutting her hair short and dressing as a man, and the
artist is known for a powerful series of self-portraits that played
with conventions of masculinity and femininity. Richly illustrated,
this volume is a timely and significant contribution to gender
studies and to the understanding of a complex and important modern
painter. Published in association with the Brighton Museum &
Art Gallery and London College of Fashion Exhibition Schedule:
Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, England (11/18/17-03/11/18)
