Artworks
This book has been written by distinguished gallerist René Gimpel and includes works by Blow, Delaunay, Gabo, Orlow, Pissarro, and Soutine.
Gimpel writes 'The Ben Uri collection is a treasure trove. It’s an honor and a privilege to be invited to delve into it, with carte blanche as to my selection for this exhibition.
After several days sifting through the image library, I settled on two criteria. One based on aesthetic considerations; the other, on singling out artworks corresponding to a personal narrative. Inevitably, the two overlap because I consider the choices all to have artistic merit and this being a personal selection, it reflects my values. The professional, the political, and the personal intertwine.'
