David Bomberg : A Sense of Place

9 Jul-11 Sep 2016

Overview

David Bomberg (1890-1957) is now recognised as one of the most exceptional and original artists of his generation, one of the pioneers of early modernism. Throughout his career, Bomberg moved frequently, painting and drawing the landscapes of Palestine, Spain, Cyprus, Cornwall and London. 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.
