Camden Town Group

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.01 sec.

Camden Town Group

Group 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.
