One of the most popular painters of English society during the '20s and '30s was Hannah Gluckstein, who preferred to be known by the androgynous..
moniker of ''Gluck''. Her stylish landscapes, portraits and self-portraits sold well throughout the '30s and she patented the ''Gluck Frame'' - ''instead of the outer edge dominating, it was made to die away into the wall and cease to be a separate feature'', she explained. Nesta Oberman was her lover for nearly ten years, which Gluck called the ''You We'' period. ''We are not an affair - we are husband and wife'' she said of the relationship. One of her most famous portraits, Medallion, is a picture of herself and Nesta, which accurately reflects the inferiority she always felt in her relationships. Gluck was also painted by Romaine Brooks, in a portrait entitled Peter, A Young English girl.
