Four exhibition­s at The Fine Art Society, 148, New Bond Street, London W1, February 6–28 (020–7629 5116; www.thefineart­society.com) examine the role and status of women artists from the early 1900s to the present day. A retrospect­ive of the British painter known as Gluck (Hannah Gluckstein, 1895– 1978) is in Gallery 1. ‘Women Artists: A Conversati­on’ features 12 contempora­ry artists who have responded to Gluck’s legacy—among them Jennifer Durrant, Vanessa Jackson, Annie Kevans, Eileen Cooper and Cathie Pilkington. ‘Modern British Women’ presents the work of both celebrated and lesser-known artists working throughout the 20th century, including Dora Carrington, Vanessa Bell and Elizabeth Frink. ‘Ethel Gabain—life Studies’ comprises lithograph­s by Ethel Gabain (1883–1950), including some done in the 1940s as an official war artist. All but ‘Gluck’ are selling exhibition­s.
