(BLOOMSBURY) GERTLER, Mark.
Selected Letters.
Edited by Noel Carrington, with an introduction on his works as an artist by Quentin Bell.
First edition, first impression. Mark Gertler (1891 - 1939) was a painter of Polish ancestry who rose from poverty in London's East End to achieve success during the interwar years. Strongly influenced by the post-impressionists, his paintings were bold and colourful, and his later style was semi-cubist. Gertler mixed with the Bloomsbury set and his troubled life inspired characters in works by D. H. Lawrence, Aldous Huxley, and Katherine Mansfield.
Octavo. Original green cloth, titles to spine gilt. With the dust jacket. 12 plates and one line drawing. A fine copy in the little tanned dust jacket, rear flap creased.
