Description: "The first biography of an important artist difficult to 'pigeon hole' in the history of twentieth-century British art. A Jewish immigrant Kramer was a contemporary of Mark Gertler David Bomberg William Roberts and C R W Nevinson but was not interested in joining artist groups. Yet he brought a robust energy largeness and simplicity of design to the English art scene. As Frances Spalding has commented there is a quality in his art that remains defiantly Eastern European. Despite his Slade training and friendships Kramer lived his life in Leeds his best work done in the post-World War I years. There he became a close friend of critic Herbert Read and for years was a pivotal figure in the Leeds cultural scene. Kramer's artistic reputation rests largely on his early portraiture especially of Jewish subjects - tense haunting images strong and compelling.
