As the art critic Frank Rutter later recalled, Gilman was an incorruptible puritan, who would have no half-measures, no bargaining, but stood solid for root-and-branch reform and so consistently advocated the formation of a new society. Despite dying at the age of forty-three in 1919, his strong-minded and ardent personality, as revealingly displayed in Walter Sickerts portrait of c.1912 (Tate T00164), meant that he made a lasting impact on the British art world at the beginning of the twentieth century.' (Tate). Marking the centenary of the artist's death, The Pallant Gallery, Chichester has a current exhibition dedicated to the work of Harold Gilman. A very uncommon title.
