It's the final week of our free exhibition, 'Young Bomberg and the Old Masters'. In the exhibition you can see some of Bomberg's earliest paintings alongside their sketches, including 'In the Hold':
https://bit.ly/33oF0aKDavid Bomberg's elaborate charcoal drawing shows that human figures are the cargo in a ship. A child at the top clutches a supportive man on the right, and Bomberg conveys the urgency of removing hapless immigrants from a ship moored in dockland. A pair of hands reaches up at the bottom, as if imploring for assistance. And a monumental man extends both his arms across the chaos, helping adults and children alike. In the painting, Bomberg uses a grid of 64 squares as an explosive device, stressing the nervous intensity of the drama in the ship's claustrophobic hold.
