Jack Bilbo (born Hugo Cyril Kulp Baruch, 13 April 1907 – 1967) was a German writer, art gallery owner, and self-taught painter. LifeBilbo was born in Berlin, Germany in 1907. His parents owned a theatrical supply company.[1] After the Nazis came to power he fled to France, Spain, and finally to England. In 1941, Bilbo opened The Modern Art Gallery in London, exhibiting the work of Kurt Schwitters, Pablo Picasso, and his own paintings and drawings, as well as the work of many unknown artists. Bilbo moved to Weybridge, England after the war ended and created large figurative sculptures in cement in his home's garden. They were entitled, Life, Devotion, and Sanctuary,[2] and were destroyed when he left England in the early 1950s, moving to France with his wife Owo.[1] In 1948, he published Jack Bilbo: an Autobiography.[3] The book is subtitled "The first forty years of the complete and intimate life-story of an Artist, Author, Sculptor, Art Dealer, Philosopher, Psychologist, Traveller and a Modernist Fighter for Humanity". In the same year he also closed the gallery.[4] He eventually returned to Berlin where he died in 1967.[1] Painting styleIn a 2014 review, art critic Gabriel Coxhead wrote that Bilbo's drawings and paintings are technically naive and clunky, with the sort of straight-on or sideways views, segmented bodies and scribbled-in backgrounds you tend to see in children’s art. There’s something childlike, too, in the feeling of inventiveness and unselfconsciousness, with scenes that feature fantastic amalgams of monsters, robots, and other magical elements. Yet for all that, there’s also a sense of sophistication, as well as carnivalesque and absurdist humour – from in-jokes about cubism to his fetishistic obsession with women’s buttocks, which become weirdly transformed into all sorts of freaky faces and patterns.[7] Exhibitions
