Reminiscences of David Bomberg by Cliff Holden.
David Bomberg, who died last year, was a painter who thought much and deeply about the art of painting. Apart from his own work he taught a number of young artists now receiving critical attention. Cliff Holden, who worked under him from 1945 to 1951, speaks about Bomberg's approach to painting and his contribution as a teacher.
An exhibition of paintings and drawings by Bomberg is at present being held by the Arts Council in London
