Although these two paintings were made by the same artist just seven years apart, they couldn’t look more different. The British artist David Bomberg (1890-1957) painted Woman Looking through Window (a.k.a. Bedroom Picture) (left) sometime between 1911 and 1912, before he served in the trenches during the First World War. He made At the Window, which depicts the same model in the same room in 1919. “He created At the Window in a post-war state of mind,” says Rachel Dickson, the co-curator of a current survey of the 20th-century artist at the Pallant House Gallery in Chichester (until 4 February 2018). “It shows his disillusionment with the world,” she says, explaining that the windows, which once offered a glimpse of the city, now resemble prison bars. These two paintings are displayed next to each other in the exhibition, which also includes Bomberg’s well-known work Ghetto Theatre (1920) paired with a preparatory study for the picture that has not been exhibited before.
