ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I first saw Gluck’s paintings at her memorial exhibition at The Fine Art Society in 1981. Photographs and articles about her life were also displayed. Interest made me look for a biography of her, but I found that none had been written. Five years later, Jane Hawksley, then an editor at Pandora Press, wrote to me saying she liked reading my reviews of books and asking if I had a book I wanted to write. I thought again of Gluck.

Since that initial fillip the kindness and assistance of many people have made this biography possible. I would like to acknowledge my gratitude and indebtedness to them, though I am responsible for all opinions expressed.

My special thanks go to Gluck’s nephew, Roy Gluckstein. I would not have got far without his help. He allowed me to have sight of her manuscripts and other family papers and responded to my requests with fairness and promptness. His mother Lady Gluckstein, his brother David, and sister Jean Jaffa, provided me with candid and humorous accounts of Gluck. Geoffrey Salmon told me the story of the family’s history and the rise in the fortunes of J. Lyons & Co., the family business. Julia Samson, Gluck’s
