WALTER SICKERT: SKETCHES OF LIFE (HB)

The drawings included in this publication reveal the working practice of Walter Sickert (1860–1942), an artist considered by many the ‘father’ of modern British art. Sickert was a prolific draughtsman throughout his career and used his drawings as preparatory works for his paintings. Drawn from nature, his sketches capture the intricacies of architectures, the infectious thrill of performance, and even the nuances of a subject’s character.
