Following his earlier training at the Leeds School of Art, Jacob Kramer spent a year at the Slade School of Fine Art (1913-14), assisted by the Jewish Education Aid Society (JEAS), upon the recommendation of Art committee member, painter Solomon J Solomon. Although he destroyed most of his Slade work, Rachel Dickson has observed that 'the broader influence of this year was significant - [...] reinforcing the principles of rigorous classical draughtsmanship and a move towards simplification', as exemplified in works including 'Shouting Man'.
