Alfred Aaron Wolmark (British, 1877-1961) Portrait of a lady, believed to be the artist's wife signed lower right "Wolmark" oil on canvas, in a painted and gilded frame designed and painted by the artist h:49 w:39 cm Other Notes: Alfred Aaron Wolmark was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1961. He later moved to London in 1883 with his family, settling in the East End. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1894, where he won an award in drawing in 1897. His early works depicted life in the Jewish communities of the East End along with portraits, some of which were featured in his first one man exhibition at the Bruton Gallery in 1905. From 1910 his work moved away from these themes, taking influence from Post-Impressionism and using strong colour and bold paint applications. His use of bold colour can be seen in his paintings of Breton, where he spent his honeymoon in 1911, which were shown in his exhibition at the Grafton Gallery that year. This time in France greatly influenced his artistic style Wolamark was a great friend of the scupltor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (they met circa 1913) and the two artists made numerous portraits of one another. After a visit to New York in 1919 Wolmark exhibited the cityscapes he painted there at the Kervorkian Gallery, new York, 1920. He co-founded the JAAS (Jewish Association of Arts and Sciences) with Adrian Alfred Woolfstein (Adrian Wolfe) in 1915. As well as painting, Wolmark also worked with pottery and stain glass designs, such as the abstract stained glass window for St Mary's Church in Slough. He was also known to design his own picture frames, sometimes using samples of wallpaper to decorate them. He created ballet stage designs for Diaghilev during the 1920's, and illustrated 'The Completed Works of Israel Zangwill's'. Retrospective exhibitions of his work were held at the Leicester Galleries 1947, the Ben Uri Gallery 1948 and 1952, and the Woodstock Gallery 1959. After his death the Ben Uri Gallery held a Memorial exhibition in 1961. Estimate £5,000-7,000 On coarse canvas. Scuffed edges. Colours good. May be the frame from another Wolmark picture.
