Alfred Wolmark, Polish/British 1877-1961 - Still Life with Plant; oil on panel, 45.5 x 34.6 cm (ARR) Provenance: the Studio of the Artist; Christie's, South Kensington, Alfred Wolmark Studio Sale, 28th February 1983, lot 3015 (according to the stamped auction label, unidentified gallery label attached and chalk dating to the reverse); Private Collection Note: the marking on the upper left edge is possibly one of the artist's monograms. Wolmark was famed for his bold colour palette, influenced by French Modernism, and in an early exhibition in the 1910s at the International Society of Artists, his work was placed beside Vincent Van Gogh, as the only artist of comparable intensity. Wolmark also exhibited at the influential 'Manet and the Post-Impressionists' exhibition at the Grafton Gallery in 1910, organised by Roger Fry. Wolmark has been referred to as the 'father' of the Whitechapel Boys. He was the only artist to be included in both the Whitechapel Art Gallery's 1906 'Jewish Art and Antiquities Exhibition' and in David Bomberg and Jacob Epstein's 'Jewish Section' at the 1914 exhibition 'Twentieth-Century Art: A Review of Modern Movements'.
