Walter Sickert was one of the most influential artists of the late
19th and early 20th centuries. An apprentice of Whistler and close
associate of Degas, he engaged with the work of French artists of
the time. Sickert in turn influenced many British painters up to
the present day. This book will show how Sickert transformed the
representation of everyday life, with his innovative approach to
subject matter, radical compositions and the evocation of the
materiality of existence in paint. It will explore the changing
nature of his work - from an impressionistic approach in the 1880s
to a pioneering use of photography in the 1930s - and how he
returned over and over to locations and subjects, including his
penetrating self-portraits. Sickert's imagination was fuelled by
news and current events such as the Camden Town Murders and
newspaper photography, but also by popular culture - music halls,
the stage, the rise of cinema and celebrity. Featuring over 200
images from the exhibition and a wide range of essays by scholars,
as well as reflections on Sickert's relevance and influence by a
selection of contemporary painters including Kaye Donachie and
Somaya Critchlow.
