David Bomberg


David Garshen Bomberg was an English painter, and one of the Whitechapel Boys.

Bomberg was born in the Lee Bank area of Birmingham on December 5, 1890. He was the seventh of eleven children of a PolishJewish immigrant leatherworker, Abraham, and his wife Rebecca. He was Orthodox but she less so and supported Davids painting ambitions. In 1895, his family moved to Whitechapel in the East End of London where he was to spend the rest of his childhood.
