This exhibition is the sixth in the Ben Uri’s important and ongoing series ‘The Whitechapel Boys’, which explores the lives and works of the group of London-based Jewish artists, all born, raised or working in and around the East End in the first 3 decades of the twentieth century. Each had a significant impact on 20th century British art and made a particular contribution to British Modernism.

This exhibition, the first to focus on the poet-painter, Isaac Rosenberg for more than 15 years, is also the first to fully explore Rosenberg’s art in the context of his Whitechapel peers- among them the painters David Bomberg, Mark Gertlwr, Jacob Kramer and Clare Winsten (Clara Birnberg). The exhibition brings together more than 50 paintings, drawings and works on paper as well as selected manuscripts, photgraphs and ephemera from Europe and America.
