About This Book

"In May 1914 the Whitechapel Art Gallery in London opened its exhibition Twentieth Century Art. The catalogue identified four main strands in modern painting but included a fifth group, of Jewish artists, hung in the 'Small Gallery.' In this illuminating book, art historian Lisa Tickner takes a fresh look at the work of artists from each to these strands.

In a series of innovative case studies, combining analysis with substantial new research, she examines the artists' radical approaches to the process of painting, and their resources in the defining conditions of modern life."--BOOK JACKET.
