In 1917 the Canadian authorities commissioned Bomberg to paint a picture to celebrate an operation in which sappers successfully blew up a salient of the German defences at Saint-Eloi near Arras.

After the First World War Bomberg travelled widely, visiting Palestine (1923-27), Spain (1934-35), Morocco (1930), Greece (1930) and Russia (1933)

 1914-18 war - Art of the First World War - 24 - David Bomberg
Bomberg (1890-1957) was one of the major artists of the London avant-garde scene, one of those whose Cubo-Futurist approach led them to invent geometrical signs verging on abstraction.
Despite this warning, the first version of his painting shows a mixed style in which figurative elements are caught up in a composition dominated by non-imitative colours and the powerfully dynamic rhythms of oblique lines in blue and purple.
The original colours and dynamism have disappeared, but the structure of the beams, the movements of the soldiers, their uniforms and the tools they are using are all painted with the required accuracy.

Bomberg would return to Sickert’s example later on in his career, but in 1911 he entered the Slade School of Art during an exciting period of intense artistic activity influenced by Post-Impressionism, Cubism and Futurism.
Rebelling from the Slade School’s traditional teaching methods of life drawing, Bomberg began to develop his own unique visual language inspired by the geometric abstraction of Cubism and Futurism, in which the human figure was reduced to angular, geometric shapes, expressing the dynamism of modern urban life.
By the end of 1912, while still at the Slade, Bomberg produced his most ambitious and innovative painting to date, Vision of Ezekiel, bringing the young student to the attention of Wyndham Lewis, who was by now seen as a revolutionary figure in British art.

Bomberg remained too far ahead of the game to keep his few patrons happy: he displeased the Canadian army by depicting sappers as cubist basilisks; he displeased the Zionist Organisation by painting Arab villages; and he displeased the Artist's Advisory Committee by painting a bomb store as if it was on fire.

David Bomberg is undeniably a giant figure of 20th century British art, very much a painters’; painter, idolised by his contemporaries and those, such as Frank Auerbach and Leon Kossoff, who still work under his influence, yet he is still little-known among the general public.
Early on Bomberg was fired up with the vorticist’s celebration of the machine age.
But, on returning from active service in the first world war, he became disillusioned by such idealistic attitudes and, taking temporary refuge in Palestine, embarked on the passionate study of nature that was to form his later, distinctive approach.
