Graphic artist Lom’s incorporates a printed image from the Evening Standard newspaper into the painted head of his Woman Seated at a Table, surrounded by still life elements including a collaged ‘Vidor’ battery box. His experimental repurposing of his painting’s support dates to 1934, the year that he migrated to Britain as a ‘Hitler émigré’, also reflecting a resourcefulness common to his cohort.
