Bomberg was famously expelled from the Slade School of Art for his radical break from artistic convention of that time. Sunrise in the Mountains is part of a small body of work created by Bomberg in the summer of 1935 in the mountains in northern Spain. His experiences as a private in the First World War shook his faith in the machine-age and modernity that had influenced his pre-war abstract works. However his pre-war dynamism is still present in this vertiginous landscape painting, rich colour and impasto brush work. It was this passion and expressive handling of paint that Bomberg would pass on to his students including Leon Kossoff and Frank Auerbach.
