Design for a Screen for the Omega Workshops, 1919

Wolfe was only twenty-one when Nina Hamnett and Roger Fry invited him to join the Omega Workshops in 1918. There he designed candle shades and trays and decorated furniture. His work from his time at Omega is extremely rare and this abstract design for a screen from 1919 is one of only a very few known designs from his time there.
