Are there any 20th century notes that explain Bomberg's inspirations?Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-74525560010799755392020-02-16T14:52:01.408+11:002020-02-16T14:52:01.408+11:00Marking just over a century since David Bomberg’s ...Marking just over a century since David Bomberg’s (1890–1957) first solo show at the onset of war in 1914, in another first, this exhibition displays some of his earliest paintings alongside the works that inspired him. From Botticelli to Michelangelo, the exhibition reveals how Bomberg’s rebellious, youthful works drew inspiration from the paintings he most admired in the Gallery.

Just as well Ivor Weiss exhibited widely in England and North America; if it wasn't for London’s Ben Uri Gallery, I don't think I would have seen his work. His earliest works shown here (mid 1960s) are wonderful, but I would love to see his WW2 and post-war works.<br /><br />See Ivor Weiss<br />Spitalfields Life<br />http://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/10/18/ivor-weiss-artist/<br />Helsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-15996757367137004972017-07-31T10:45:16.426+10:002017-07-31T10:45:16.426+10:00For an analysis of Leon Kossoff's career, read...For an analysis of Leon Kossoff's career, read an excellent post called "Christ Church Spitalfields by Leon Kossoff" in the blog Spitalfields Life. If anyone had read the book "East End Vernacular: Artists who painted London's East End streets in the 20th Century", they might write a short review.<br /><br />http://spitalfieldslife.com/2017/07/11/christ-church-spitalfields-by-leon-kossoff/<br /><br /><br />Helshttp://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-71232654483325707512016-06-19T14:24:11.795+10:002016-06-19T14:24:11.795+10:00David Bomberg: A Sense of Place will be exhibited ...David Bomberg: A Sense of Place will be exhibited at the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne until the end of September 2016. Towner holds a number of paintings by Bomberg in the permanent collection. With loans from national institutions, including Tate, Ben Uri Gallery and Southampton City Art Gallery and from private collections, this exhibition brings together a selection of Bomberg’s landscape works to present an overview of the sense of place that he portrayed in these paintings, and how each of the landscapes was so significant to him.Towner Art Galleryhttp://www.townereastbourne.org.uk/exhibition/david-bomberg-a-sense-of-place/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067098918914268503.post-50796635202483181392015-11-26T13:33:17.783+11:002015-11-26T13:33:17.783+11:00Parnassus

I love the illuminated manuscripts and the silver ritual art objects, but alas there were very few paintings between 1890 and 1930. I can certainly try other Sotheby's catalogues, reached through the same url.

It includes a few interesting paintings, although not from the school you discuss in this post.

Even if they were desperate to leave their homeland and sat in a Displaced Persons' Camp for years in a tent waiting for a visa, it is indeed a bitter sweet process. <br /><br />So our question now: given that the exhibition wants to create future dialogue about the universal relationship between "immigration, identity and art", how well is it achieving its goal? Are the paintings too British to generalise more broadly? Do modern viewers understand that the non-British artists (eg Soutine, Chagall) were themselves immigrants from Russia, Belarus and Lithuania to France?
