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 Járay (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. In June 1948 Erica Brausen took over the gallery at 32a George Street and it was renamed the Hanover Gallery. 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 St George's Gallery at 81 Grosvenor Street, Mayfair closed in 1950. 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.
