Gilman-Canal-Bridge - A painting of a bridge over a river

Harold John Wilde Gilman (1876–1919) was born into the family of the rector of Kent University. After graduating from the college and studying at Oxford, he worked in Ukraine (Odessa) as a teacher in the family of a British diplomat. Harold Gilman is known as one of the creators of the Camden Town group. It was a fairly influential association of English artists and innovators who gathered in the art studio of Walter Sikkert from 1911 to 1914 in the London area of Camden and arranged exhibitions of modern art.
