Camden Town Group |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.02 sec. |
Camden Town GroupGroup of English painters formed in 1911. The artists met weekly in the studio of Walter Sickert (1860–1942), the group's prime inspiration, in a working-class area of London. The Camden Town artists utilized an Impressionist technique but were also open to the influence of Post-Impressionism. Their subject matter was derived from the everyday life of an English industrial town. Despite a somewhat expressive use of colour, their paintings remained representational and realistic, reflecting an interpretation of a modern aesthetic different from the more formally daring developments emerging in Paris at the same time. The Camden Town Group was absorbed in 1913 by the London Group, a combination of several smaller groups of contemporary English artists. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| 2 WALTER SICKERT, LAZARUS BREAKS HIS FAST: SELF-PORTRAIT, 1927 In this fascinating work, the Camden Town Group painter portrays himself as Lazurus, whom Jesus raised from the dead. He has worked in North London for most of his life, in the same studio, in fact, since 1954, in a city patch explored in the early twentieth century by Walter Sickert and artists of the Camden Town Group such as Spencer Gore. |
