The Boundary Gallery is 20 years old. It specialises in two areas:MODERN BRITISH - including BOMBERG, BRODZKY, EPSTEIN, HERMAN, KESTELMAN, KRAMER, MENINSKY , WOLMARK BOMBERG, EPSTEIN, KRAMER, MENINSKY AND WOLMARK were artists who formed the ANGO JEWISH art circle - SONS OF IMMIGRANTS FROM EASTERN EUROPE TOWARDS THE TURN OF THE 19/20TH CENTURY. They all became leading artists. DAVID BOMBERG is recognised as the leading expressionist painter of British 20th century art. DAVID BOMBERG believed in the “Spirit of the Mass” - which he taught at the Borough Polytechnic 1947-1952, Among his students were FRANK AUERBACH and LEON KOSSOFF. BOMBERG spent many years in Spain, BOMBERG started his career as a VORTICIST and it was only after the first World War that he started paining with wide brushstrokes and capturing landmarks of the Mediterrenean with his rich palette in the EXPRESSIONIST manner.
MENINSKY was a superb draughtsman, and a very good painter - though during his lifetime he devoted himself to teaching. It is only now that his talent is beginning to be appreciated. He is represented in all the main municipal galleries in Britain. EPSTEIN, who left his native New York in 1905 and spent his life in London, is one of the Twentieth Century’s greatest sculptor in Britain. The Boundary Gallery has organised a number of shows - featuring both EPSTEIN’s sculptures and works on paper.
EPSTEIN is best known as a portraitist (bronze) as well as a carver which led to a number of public commissions including THE SOCIAL CONSCIENCE GROUP in Philadelphia - USA - and the Cavendish Square Madonna in London among others.
