KRAMER, JACOB (1892-1962).

Brush and Indian ink on paper

Provenance: Private Collection, Leeds Kramer was one of the most significant Anglo-Jewish artists of the 20th century and his work combined the avant-garde idiom of Cubism with Jewish subject matter, most famously in his masterpiece “The Day of Atonement” (1920 - presently in the Leeds City Art Gallery, England). Kramer was commissioned to illustrate portions of the Soncino edition of the Bible and Prophets. The present work relates to this important (unrealized) project.
