This major summer exhibition explores British artist Walter Sickert's sustained fascination with the fashionable French seaside town of Dieppe.

About

It explores the artist's vivid interest in everyday life in the town and shows how it was the personal and professional relationships he developed there - including with Degas, Whistler and the Impressionists - that impacted the development of his pictorial technique.

The British artist Walter Sickert (1860-1942) had a sustained fascination with the fashionable seaside resort of Dieppe in France. 'Sickert in Dieppe' demonstrates the artist's vivid interest in everyday life in Dieppe, to which he was a regular visitor for over four decades and a permanent resident from 1898-1905.

Over 80 paintings, prints, preparatory drawings and etchings show Sickert's breadth of subject matter - the town's architecture, harbour and fishing quarter, shops, café culture and inhabitants - whilst charting the development of his pictorial technique during this period. It shows the importance of the personal and professional relationships he made in Dieppe, including European artists such as Degas, Whistler and the Impressionists.

An accompanying display features works by artists who have been influenced by Sickert including Frank Auerbach, David Bomberg, Keith Coventry and Celia Paul.
