David Bomberg
English Woman, 1920
Oil on canvas mounted on board
Combining sharp angles with a compressed perspective, Bomberg’s composition acknowledges his prewar association with the Vorticist movement but places the figure firmly centre stage. The earthy palette anchors his English Woman, stooping at the tiller atop her barge, as she emerges from a tunnel with the landscape unfolding all around her.
