Biography
Galliner was born in London into a German-Jewish family who returned to Hamburg while she was still a baby. Galliner attended university in Berlin but when the Nazi Party came to power in 1933 she fled to Britain to avoid being arrested. Throughout 1938 and 1939 Galliner served as a travel companion to Jewish children being evacuated from Germany to Britain. She painted in acrylic, produced pottery and collages in a style clearly influenced by the Bauhaus and Die Brücke movements. ==References==
