Mark Gertler (1891-1939)
Born in 1891 in Spitalfields he was the youngest child of Polish-Jewish immigrants. After school in 1906 he enrolled in art classes at the Regent Street polytechnic, but family poverty forced him to drop-out after a year. In 1907 he began apprentice work for a stained-glass window company which funded evening classes at the polytechnic.
