About the Item

A very nice set of four art nouveau lithographs by the Scottish female artist Hannah Frank. Hannah Frank was born in Glasgow to Jewish Russian immigrants. Frank originally studied English and Latin at the University of Glasgow and trained at Jordanhill to become a teacher. During this time she attended evening classes at Glasgow School of Art studying lithography, drawing, and sculpture. She is known for the art nouveau style of her work, and was influenced by artists of the previous generation including Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, Jessie M King and Aubrey Beardsley. Frank's black and white illustrations of elongated figures and scenes demonstrate her distinct style, and were frequently featured in the Glasgow University Magazine. Her last drawings are dated 1952, which is around the time that she started to concentrate on sculpture, most of which centre around the body. Frank's 100th birthday was celebrated with the opening of an exhibition of her work at the University of Glasgow where she also received an honorary degree in recognition of her 'international distinction.'

Original early 20th Century German signed lithograph by Marcus Behmer
By Marcus Behmer
Located in Petworth, West Sussex
Marcus Behmer (German, 1879 – 1958) Die Geravbte orchidee (The robbed orchid), 1903 Signed ‘Marcus Behmer’ (lower right in pencil) Lithograph on paper 16.1/8 x 12in. (40.8 x 30.5cm.) It is apparent Behmer is influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley, though this work is no less beautiful in its execution. Little is known regarding his connections to Oscar Wilde though he is obviously an admirer and has many similarities with his private life and incarceration in prison. These works were a personal gift to Baron Detlev von Hadeln, the aristocrat and prominent art historian of the age. Behmer is known to be, since 1903, a member in the first ever homosexual organization in Berlin and was thus probably a part of Adolf Brand’s circle, and may have contributed to Brand’s publication Der Eigene. Until now, few know that Behmer was sentenced in April 1937 by a court in Konstanz to imprisonment for two years, being arrested in Freiburg and at other locations in southern Germany for being a homosexual. At times he was given the opportunity to work as an artist in prison. The works produced in this period are mostly calligraphic designed tablets with Greek text (prayers and Bible quotes...
