• FERMIN ROCKER (1907-2004) LONDON UNDERGROUND Signed l.r. ~F. Rocker~ Oil on board Image size: 39 x 49cm. (15¼ x 19¼in.) Framed size: 44 x 54cm. (17¼ x 21¼in.) Fermin Rocker was born in London and was the son of the German anarcho-syndicalist theorist and activist Rudolf Rocker and Milly Witkop, anarchist, and feminist activist, who had both fled to London in the 1890s. Throughout his childhood, Fermin Rocker was introduced to many prominent anarchists, such as Errico Malatesta and Peter Kropotkin, as a result of attending many of his father~s meetings. With the outbreak of War, his mother and father were interned as enemy aliens, due to their vocal opposition to both sides in World War I on internationalist grounds. The family were reunited in Amsterdam in 1918 and settled in Germany where Fermin Rocker was first introduced to artists and began to draw and paint. In 1929, Rocker settled in a rural commune in New York; his parents joining him a few years later. Whilst there, he worked as a draughtsman, cartoon animator, commercial artist and then for many years as a book illustrator. His first solo exhibition was in New York in 1944. During the 1950s and for the remainder of his career, Rocker turned his attention to oil painting, often choosing human activity such as a meeting, musical performance or even taking the train. It was only after his return to London in the 1970s, with his wife Ruth Robins, that he began to profit from his art. Despite growing up surrounded by strong political views, few of his works were directly political; his painting of a mass of Basque refugees heading away from the destruction wrought by the Franco~s allies towards the French boarder was one exception. Fermin Rocker continued to paint until the last few weeks of his life. His son, who cared for him in his closing years, was always amused that the anarchist paper Freedom arrived unbidden in the mailbox.
