Recognised as one of the leading British post-impressionist painters of the first half of the twentieth century, Wolmark was one of the 'Whitechapel Boys', an influential group of modernist Jewish artists, which included Bernard Meninsky, Mark Gertler, Jacob Kramer and William Roberts. He is best known for his vibrant landscapes and still lifes. A major retrospective of his work was held at the Ben Uri Gallery in the Autumn of 2004, entitled Redisovering Wolmark: A Pioneer of British Modernism.
