Walter Sickert and the Camden Town Group

by: Maureen Connett, Walter Sickert
Walter Sickert fascinated everyone, including himself. He was cosmopolitan, witty, intelligent, handsome and a chameleon in his changing moods and appearance. He was also the leader and mentor of the group of talented young painters who gathered around him in 1911 and became known as the Camden Town Group. This apparently transient and ostentatiously unsuccessful group of like minds produced between them some of the most attractive and important work of the 20th century. Taught by both Whistler and Degas, Sickert became a leading innovator in the artistic world, with a reputation that preceded him.

Perfect Moderns: A History of the Camden Town Group

by: Wendy Baron
Camden Town, in north-west London, gave its name to a style of painting and to a society of artists - the Camden Town Group - which held three exhibitions in 1911 and 1912. Both the style and the idea of creating an exhibiting society were formed by the interchange of ideas and influences at 19 Fitzroy Street, where in 1907, Walter Sickert first organized a number of painters - the Fitzroy Street Group - to contribute jointly to the rent of a studio. The style encompassed paintings domestic in scale, unpretentious in subject matter, informal and lively in execution.

Modern Painters: The Camden Town Group

by: Robert Upstone

The Camden Town Group of British painters chronicled the changes in both British society and the city of London in the years immediately before and during World War I. Extensively illustrated, Robert Upstone’s book investigates how artists Spencer Gore, Harold Gilman, Walter Sickert, and other members of this group reacted to the changing face of metropolitan existence. Published to accompany the first major exhibition of the Camden Town Group in twenty years, this book discusses how these radically modern artists absorbed and refined European influences, how genre portraits of working-class subjects allowed them to explore the relationship of the individual and the city, and how Sickert, Gore and Gilman created images of women that were more overtly sexual than the imagery produced by their colleagues in continental Europe.

Harold Gilman and William Ratcliffe: "A Clean and Solid Mosaic"

by: Tim Craven
"A clean and solid mosaic of thick paint in a light key" was a phrase aptly used by the leader of the Camden Town Group of artists, Walter Sickert, to describe the painting of this Edwardian group, who depicted their tea-and-cake world in a comparatively timid, but subtle and charming, Post-Impressionist style. This book describes the work of Harold Gilman, probably the most talented of the group, and his close friend and protégé William Ratcliffe.

Walter Sickert ~ Jack The Ripper's Bedroom

Walter Richard Sickert (31 May 1860 -- 22 January 1942) was a German-born English Impressionist painter and a member of the Camden Town Group. Sickert was a cosmopolitan and eccentric who often favoured ordinary people and urban scenes as his subjects, but whose oeuvre also included portraits of well known personalities and friends, as well as images derived from press photographs. He is considered a prominent figure in the transition from Impressionism to modernism, and an important influence on distinctively British styles of avant-garde art in the 20th century. Sickert took a keen interest in the Jack the Ripper crime and believed he had lodged in the room used by the infamous serial killer, having been told this by his landlady, who suspected a previous lodger. He painted the room, entitling it "Jack the Ripper's bedroom" and portraying it as a dark, brooding and almost unintelligible space. The painting is displayed in the Manchester City Art Gallery.
