Walter Sickert (1860-1942) by Andrew Forge
Because of Sickcrt's importance for English painting as a mouthpiece of Impressionism, it has been peculiarly difficult to see him clearly in his own right: and the difficulty has been increased by his legend, a legend supported by his literary friends.
Mr Forge attempts to throw some light on the conflict between two sides of Sickert's character as a painter.
A centenary exhibition of Sickert's work la on view in London at the Tate Gallery.
