Description

"Walter Sickert was a leading figure in painting and the graphic arts from the 1880s to his death in 1942. Vivid, suggestive, enigmatic, his work varies strikingly - from Impressionism to Realism; from gritty urban scenes to intensely-coloured landscapes; from an overtly modern set of subjects to apparently nostalgic images. Noted for his independence and originality, he constantly reinvented himself, both personally and professionally.". "David Peters Corbett examines the dynamism of Sickert's paintings from his earliest career at the Slade School of Art to his last works, highlighting the importance of his contribution to the development of modern British painting."--BOOK JACKET.
