Biography
Painter, born in London. She attended Putney School of Art, but economic necessity forced her to work for Prudential Assurance Company from 1915-22, after which she studied at Regent Street Polytechnic School of Art.

She was married to antiques dealer Jacob Mendelson, 1923-28, but then met and later married David Bomberg. She continued to paint with Bomberg widely overseas and became a member of the Borough Group in the late 1940's, showing at the Archer Gallery, Arcade Gallery and elsewhere.

The Ben Uri Gallery held a retrospective of her work in 1980, from which the Tate Gallery purchased a landscape entitled 'Tajo Ronda'. After Bomberg's premature death in 1957, Lilian devoted her remaining years (with the support of her daughter Dinora Mendelson) promoting Bomberg's achievements.
