Walter Sickert (1860-1942) was possibly the most important and influential early modern British artist. He belonged to the generation that absorbed the modernity of late nineteenth-century French art into British painting and printmaking. His outstanding work as a printmaker has been largely overlooked and unexplored until now. This book and catalogue raisonni bring together for the first time the substantial body of 226 prints by Sickert, along with their numerous different states, many in rare or unique impressions, and reveals the unorthodox and experimental techniques Sickert used frequently 'in dialogue' with related paintings and drawings. Ruth Bromberg describes here the subject matter and techniques for each print in relation to Sickert's oeuvre. She also discusses the evolution of Sickert's career in printmaking; the influences on his work of Whistler and Degas, whom Sickert knew; his working procedures; and his innovative techniques and style in engraving, etching, aquatint, soft ground etching, and lithography.

For sixty years, in his roles as painter, teacher, and polemicist, he was a source of inspiration and influence to successive generations of British painters.

He was uncompromisingly truthful, revealing beauty in the squalid as in the sublime: in cockney music halls, the crumbling streets of Dieppe, the grand sites of Venice, and the low-life of Camden Town. Decades before Warhol, he exploited the potential of photo-based imagery and of studio production lines to create iconic portraits of the grandees of theatrical, social, and political life. This catalogue is divided into two parts: essay chapters describe Sickert's chronology in terms of stylistic and technical development, and a fully illustrated catalogue presents more than 2800 drawings and paintings, many of which have never been published before.

A book devoted to one of Britain's most prominent artists, Walter Sickert (1860-1942), who was a painter, draughtsman and graphic artist of merit. Much of his success is credited to his awareness of developments in European modern art.
