  • Overview
Open a larger version of the following image in a popup: David Bomberg (1891-1957) Benchers Hall, Inner Temple 1947 Charcoal on paper 47 x 60 cm Ben Uri Collection © David Bomberg estate

'There is no fixed way in which a line goes, but there is a relationship between the lines' (David Bomberg). This is one of a series of drawings of the Inns of Court completed by Bomberg in the mid-to-late forties during the period when he began his career as a highly influential teacher. Towards the end of the war he took over a post as drawing master at the Bartlett School of Architecture prior to his appointment at the Borough Polytechnic (1945-53). Bomberg's teaching also strengthened and informed his own work. Here he uses strong, fluid charcoal strokes to trace the outline of the building to evoke a sense of mass.
