Sickert - Paintings and drawings

Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942) était un artiste d'une prodigieuse créativité. Pendant 60 ans, il a été une source d'inspiration et a influencé les générations successives de peintres anglais.

Ce catalogue en anglais est divisé en deux parties: un chapître sous forme d'essai qui décrit la chronologie de l'artiste en terme de styles et de développement technique, suivi d'un catalogue très illustré qui présente plus de 2800 dessins et peintures, dont beaucoup n'ont jamais été publiées.

Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942) was an artist of prodigious creativity. For sixty years, in his roles as painter, teacher, and polemicist, he was a source of inspiration and influence to successive generations of British painters.
With his roots in the Victorian era, Sickert broke all taboos. He was uncompromisingly truthful, revealing beauty in the squalid as in the sublime: in cockney music halls, the crumbling streets of Dieppe, the grand sites of Venice, and the low-life of Camden Town. Decades before Warhol, he exploited the potential of photo-based imagery and of studio production lines to create iconic portraits of the grandees of theatrical, social, and political life.
This catalogue is divided into two parts: essay chapters describe Sickert's chronology in terms of stylistic and technical development, and a fully illustrated catalogue presents more than 2800 drawings and paintings, many of which have never been published before.
