This extraordinary work shows the centrality of spirituality to the artist's work and his originality as a painter, with this Old Testament scene depicted in Modern strokes of pure colour.

 

An émigré in the East End of London before the First World War, Goldstein soon become friendly with the circle of artists known as the Whitechapel Boys, which included David Bomberg, Mark Gertler and Jacob Kramer, eventually studying at the Slade School of Art, thanks to the Jewish Education Aid Society. The artist exhibited alongside his friends at the seminal Whitechapel exhibition, 'Twentieth Century Art: A Review of Modern Movements' in 1914.
