- David Bomberg was born in Birmingham in December 1890. His father, Abraham Bomberg, was a Jewish leather-worker from Poland. The family moved from Birmingham to Whitechapel, East London in 1895. David married Alice Mayes (1880-1973) in 1916, but they separated in 1927. In 1941 he married Lilian Mendelson, née Holt, who had a daughter Dinora (later Davies-Rees) (1924-2010) from her previous marriage to the art dealer Jacob Mendelson. The couple had one child, Diana (1935-1974). Lilian accompanied David on many painting expeditions and played an important part in furthering and protecting his posthumous reputation. She assisted with exhibitions of his work, subsidized the publication of William C. Lipke's extensive biography, `David Bomberg: A Critical Study of his Life and Work' (1967), and preserved printed material and press cuttings on his work.
