Armenian Church, Jerusalem
1923
A powerful architectural study rendered in charcoal and coloured chalk, capturing the imposing form of an Armenian church in Jerusalem with Bomberg's characteristically bold and expressive mark-making. The drawing conveys a strong sense of mass and structure through vigorous, gestural lines that define the building's solidity against its surroundings. Bomberg's keen sensitivity to place and form transforms this sacred site into a dynamic composition that balances architectural precision with raw, energetic draughtsmanship.
