David Bomberg, The Mud Bath, 1914, Oil on Canvas, 152.4 x 224.2cm.

One of the Whitechapel Boys, David Bomberg was also a key participant of the London based Vorticism movement of the early 20th Century. With Tate Britain’s exhibition – The Vorticists: Manifesto for a Modern World – recently finishing (well, three months ago), we thought it was worth revisiting one of our favourite pieces. We all like to get messy.
