Description
"This catalogue accompanies the first exhibition devoted to the group of female nudes painted by Walter Sickert (1860-1942) in and around Camden Town between 1905 and 1912. The uncompromising realism of Sickert's nudes, set in the murky interiors of cheap lodging houses, broke artistic conventions and shocked critics. Today they are recognised as being among his most important contributions to the development of twentieth-century art." "This publication looks in detail at Sickert's reinvention of the nude as a subject of modern painting. It explores the ways in which he attempted to overturn outmoded traditions of the genre and pursue instead a stridently realist approach. These ambitions achieved their most profound expression in his so-called Camden Town Murder paintings which are brought together in this exhibition for the first time. Walter Sickert: The Camden Town Nudes offers an account of this important body of work by one of the most significant British artists of the twentieth century."--Jacket.
