Summary of the Event (at least 3 major points; each point will have its own paragraph)
A. Eva Frankfurther may not be as famous as her fellow colleagues. Her legacy is worth
way much more than being famous. She moved to a basement in Whitechapel and she
sketched and painted. Her drawings and sketches contained her fellow workers and
residents and it uniquely showed how rapidly londons evolving east end.
B. Franturthers work is primarily to show the everyday life of Whitechapel in 1950s and
to experience postwar. The area East End was heavily bombed and in in the art it
shows people recovering and trying to go on with their daily lives. At the end of the
1950s the East End had moved and was no longer predominantly Jewish area, it was
slowly becoming a area with a mixed population.
C. Frankfurter focused her work on more inner beauty than outer beauty. She focused
on the little thing is her community. She closely observed people and their daily lives
and she carefully portrayed it in her sketches and paintings. She didnt surround herself
with other artists she kept to herself this resulted in her art being different from others.
