ST GEORGE'S GALLERY
St George's Gallery at 32a George Street, Hanover Square, London with Arthur Rowland Howell (1881-1956) as its Director with Miss Lilian Harmston, the secretary. In 1943, after the death of her husband the sculptor Alexander Sándor Járay (1870–1943), art dealer Lea Bondi Jaray (1880-1969) took it over with Austrian chemist, industrialist, and art collector Otto Brill (1881-1954) and in 1946 moved to 81 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair, London W1. Howell had shown artists such as Frances Hodgkins (1869-1947) and David Michael Jones (1895-1974) but it soon became a centre for émigrés, including employing Erica Brausen (1908-1992) and Harry Fischer (1903-1977) who founded Marlborough Fine Art Gallery in 1946. The Turkish abstract artist, Fahrelnissa Zeid (1901-1991), whose second husband, Prince Zeid Al-Hussein became the first Ambassador of the Kingdom of Iraq to the Court of St James's, in London, held an exhibition at St George's Gallery in 1948 which was visited by Queen Elizabeth II. St George's Gallery at 81 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair closed in 1950. In 1948 Erica Brausen took over the gallery at 32a George Street and was renamed the Hanover Gallery. Suffolk artists who exhibited at St George's Gallery include George Chapman, Elisabeth Jean Frink and Frances Hodgkins.
Later Basil Jonzen with Agatha Sadler (1925-2016) and later with Robert Erskine (1954-) opened a St George's Gallery in Cork Street which closed in 1989.
