About
Artist Michael Ajerman presents this lecture on former student of Heatherleys, the artist Walter Sickert.
Thursday 24th November 2022, 4.30 – 6pm
Walter Sickert is an artist who is an odd bridge of English and French painting in the changing world of the late 1800’s leading well into the 20th Century. Drawing from James Whistler and Edgar Degas, his work is a constant tension between fast and slow. As a young man who worked in the theater, his painting never lost the notion of theatricality. Nor his life.
Straws of Sickert will put a light on his formative years, a close discussion of his Camden Town Nudes, and his unique late work derived from photographic sources.
Talk will be an hour. Followed by Q and A.
FREE ADMISSION. ALL WELCOME!
