Sickert, Walter Richard, 1860–1942, English painter. After a brief career on the stage Sickert was apprenticed to Whistler and later worked with Degas. His preferred subjects were scenes of music halls and the London demimonde. Painting in deep, rich browns with vital, immediate brushwork, Sickert became celebrated for his personal and spontaneous works. He was a major link between French and English painting at the turn of the century.

| Indeed, his work, perhaps inadvertently, conveys more than a hint of the problematics of meaning in contemporary painting: As much as he strives to articulate his place in a figurative tradition that stretches from John Constable to Walter Sickert and Giorgio Morandi, his quasi homage strenuously resists its own time. 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. |
