Bomberg

Sarah MacDougall,Rachel Dickson

This new monograph on the important and influential 20th-century British artist David Bomberg (1890-1957) accompanies a major new exhibition curated by the authors, due to open at Pallant House, Chichester (Oct 2017, touring to Laing Gallery, Newcastle and Ben Uri Gallery, London.) The monograph is a comprehensive yet succinct account, providing an informed and accessible overview of Bomberg’s career and achievements, combining a biographical narrative with an analytical and interpretative approach. It discusses and illustrates Bomberg’s five key periods and motifs including early, experimental modernism pre the First World War; War artist’s commissions and immediate postwar works; major Jerusalem landscapes; portraiture, and particularly self-portraiture; and the flowering of his mature landscapes. The book is also notable for its inclusion of new material relating to Bomberg’s Jewish background, and its sumptuous illustrations. AUTHOR: Sarah MacDougall, Head of Collections, and Rachel Dickson, Head of Curatorial Services, are co-curators at the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum. They have curated and published extensively on twentieth-century British artists of Jewish descent, and emigre artists in Britain, with a particular specialism on the ‘Whitechapel Boys’. MacDougall is Gertler’s biographer and cataloguer, and Dickson has published extensively on Jacob Kramer. SELLING POINTS: . Major new title on acclaimed but neglected early British modernist artist, by two experts in the field . Features both celebrated and lesser-known but important works from public and private lenders . Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the artist’s death and the first museum retrospective in a decade 100 colour, 20 b/w images
