Author John Russell Taylor. Born in 1891 he became central to the Anglo-Jewish artists that included Bomber, Gertler, Kramer and Rosenberg. Sadly he is not well known; a critic once said his work defied classification but was stated to be Neo-Romantic. Much of his work included dark atmospheric landscapes; his figures often looking more in common with Picasso. He dedicated much of his life to teaching.
