Caption
Gilman was a founder of the Camden Town Group, so-called because they gathered at the studio of Walter Sickert in Camden. This group of artists was active from 1911 to around 1913. Gilman had met Sickert in 1907 and was later influenced by the first Post-Impressionist exhibition at the Grafton Galleries in 1910. He soon outgrew Sickert’s stylistic influence, becoming more reliant on artists such as Van Gogh, Gauguin and Signac. Their strident use of colour and paint is evident in this still-life. He branded himself a ‘Neo-Realist’, and exhibited under that label in 1914.
