Hannah Yakin

Hannah Yakin (born Hannah van Hulst; 3 March 1933, in Amsterdam) is an Israeli artist.

During World War II, Hannah developed her artistic talents, experiencing "happy times in which necessity bore creativity".[1]

After the war she went to high school and studied art in Utrecht and in Paris with Paul Colin. In 1956 she emigrated to Israel where she met and married the artist Abraham Yakin. During the first years of her marriage she concentrated chiefly on the themes of pregnancy, birth-giving and motherhood. After 1965 she created two large series of etchings, one about evolution, the other about music and musicians. In 1978 she took up writing, this time in English. Some of her short stories were published in American and Canadian literary magazines. A number of her stories were recently broadcast by the BBC World Service. She has published three illustrated books in small editions, as collectors' items.

gollark: How is this not constantly exploited everywhere?
gollark: If you have someone's credit card number and some details you can just... arbitrarily pull money from it and they can't stop it without lots of effort, and you need to give people it to pay for anything?
gollark: To be honest the infrastructure for online payments seems broken and moronically designed and I don't understand how it works.
gollark: Wait, I could just have a box where people can send me credit card numbers.
gollark: What, providing services people are willing to pay for? Ridiculous. And I would need to do payment processing, which would require legal stuff, and making my servers/data actually secure, and it would be annoying.
