Murder and Modernism – Walter Sickert and The Camden Group
Lecture by Nicola Moorby
Tuesday 15th October, 8pm
The Camden Town Group was an innovative circle of painters united by the desire to paint works of a modern character. They combined the techniques and visions of European Post-Impressionism with the changing modernity of Edwardian London. This lecture introduces the core members of the group, led by Walter Richard Sickert and tells the story of their brief but significant association. We will examine the key themes addressed within their work: urban life, popular entertainment and the lower social classes, as well as Sickert’s infamous series of paintings inspired by the notorious Camden Town murder.
Nicola Moorby is an independent art historian specialising in British art of the 19th and early 20th centuries, formerly a curator and researcher at Tate Britain. She is an experienced lecturer at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She has appeared on television and radio, most recently on Great Paintings of the World with Andrew Marr.
