{"product_id":"the-artists-wife-and-baby-david-bomberg","title":"The Artist's Wife and Baby - David Bomberg","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn intimate, expressive portrait by David Bomberg, capturing his wife and baby through bold, gestural brushwork and a moody, atmospheric palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid Bomberg, a central figure in the development of British Modernism, produced this intimate study of his wife and child during a period of stylistic transition. Moving away from the rigid, geometric abstraction of his earlier Vorticist-influenced works, this painting demonstrates a shift toward a more expressive, painterly approach. The composition focuses on the mother and child, rendered with bold, gestural brushwork that prioritises emotional weight over precise anatomical detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is dominated by deep, moody blues and shadows, which contrast with the lighter, warmer tones used for the baby and the mother's face. Bomberg employs a direct application of paint, allowing the texture of the canvas to remain visible in certain areas. This technique creates a sense of immediacy and raw feeling, typical of his later approach to portraiture. The figures emerge from a dark, indistinct background, drawing the viewer's attention to the protective embrace of the mother and the vulnerability of the infant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout his career, Bomberg maintained a focus on the structural integrity of his subjects, even as his style became more fluid. In this work, the forms are simplified, yet they retain a solid presence within the frame. The interplay of light and shadow defines the volume of the figures, suggesting a sculptural quality that remained a constant in his practice. This piece offers a glimpse into the artist's personal life, captured with the same rigorous attention to form and light that he applied to his more public commissions. It is a work that balances domestic subject matter with a sophisticated understanding of colour and composition, reflecting the artist's ability to imbue everyday scenes with a sense of gravity and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-ahko-arshile-gorky\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Ahko by Arshile Gorky\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/woman-at-the-fountain-henri-matisse\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWoman at the Fountain by Henri Matisse\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/david-bomberg\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eDavid Bomberg artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Bomberg","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131173405007,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131185234255,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131185267023,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131185299791,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59131185332559,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131185365327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131185398095,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131185430863,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131185463631,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131185496399,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131185529167,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131185561935,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131185594703,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131185627471,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131185660239,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131185693007,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131185725775,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59131185758543,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59131185791311,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59131185824079,"sku":null,"price":285.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Artist-s-Wife-and-Baby_Poster_CompositorV1_1792115325064.jpg?v=1792136527","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-artists-wife-and-baby-david-bomberg","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
