Gluck (born Hannah Gluckstein; 13 August 1895 – 10 January 1978) was a British painter. Gluck joined the Lamorna artists' colony near Penzance, and was noted for their portraits and floral paintings, as well as a new design of picture-frame. Gluck's relationships with a number of women included one with Nesta Obermer: the artist's joint self-portrait with Obermer (Medallion) is viewed as an iconic lesbian statement. Gluck rejected any forename or honorific (such as "Miss" or "Mr"), and also used the names Peter and Hig.
