Eva was so talented, so empathetic and perceptive that her portraits touch the soul. What a dreadful shame that she did not survive to enjoy the respect and the fame her work would surely have brought her. I hope her drawings now hang in London’s great museums, as they deserve to be.

Such emotive images, perhaps reflecting personal anguish suffered by Eva. Sad to hear that she died so young.

Many thanks. Some artists are easy to find and analyse especially
Barnett Freedman, Morris Goldstein and Leon Kossoff. But Eva
Frankfurther enjoyed such a short career that my courses on British
artists have never included her. So I will have to do a lot of
reading before we start up again, later this year

A great Artist with a very tragical Life Story …

Greetings from Boston,

GA, Eva’s sketches are profoundly moving. None of her subjects is actually smiling, as if she can channel the tragedy that unfolded in Europe during her brief lifetime. The one of the mother and two young children is particularly poignant.

The picture of the mother and child made me shiver and others so full of character. So sad when mental health robs us of such talent.

Eva’s art is striking and on the dark side, a mental condition can sometimes heighten perception.
In that period of our history there was a tremendous upheaval which reflected on people. She would have survived today with all the help that’s around. G Bless Eva Shalom Aleichem. John a poet from Bristol

So sad. I am anxious to learn more of the life of Eva Frankfurter. There is no reference to her work in East End Vernacular. Any clues to the whereabouts of the Estate of Eva Frankfurter would be very welcome. Thanks so much.

She’s so beautiful, so sad.

These are the kind that make it look so easy, but I know it’s not. She draws a few wobbly lines, and I bet I would know that man if I saw him on the Tube. I scratch a dozen lines just to make one side of the nose, and my faces look like cartoons. Bad ones. She was a great artist.
