Comments on: Eva Frankfurther, Artist https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/11/27/eva-frankfurther-artist/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Fri, 28 Nov 2014 10:33:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0.3 By: Richard https://spitalfieldslife.com/2014/11/27/eva-frankfurther-artist/#comment-660561 Fri, 28 Nov 2014 10:33:12 +0000 http://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=124842#comment-660561 Beautiful and sad drawings. Seems to be very little about her, on line at least

Thanks again for showing me something that I doubt if I would have seen otherwise, I shall now try to discover more about his artist.

From the way she drew them, you get a real sense of how involved she must have been with her subjects. Thank you for yet another wonderful discovery.

They reveal so much about the spirit of her subjects. Sad that her life and career were cut short so young.

They remind me of Felix Topolski’s drawings of Paris in the 1930s.
