Additional Information

This period of Bomberg’s career was particularly difficult. Depressed by his lack of commercial success, and the outbreak of civil war in Spain, Bomberg nearly gave up painting altogether. It was his wife’s encouragement, fellow artist Lilian Holt, that kept him working at all, and several family portraits of her and their infant daughter Diana survive from this time.

David Bomberg was the most audacious painter of his generation at the Slade. His treatment of the human figure, in terms of angular, clear-cut forms charged with enormous energy, reveals his determination to bring about a drastic renewal in British painting. With the advent of World War I, everything changed dramatically and his harrowing experiences at the Front brought about a profound transformation in his outlook.
