A provocative, scandalous and mysterious artist who lived in France for many years, Walter Sickert (1860-1942) remains the undisputed precursor of modern figurative painting in England. His paintings, which may have caused a scandal at the time, are still singular today, and have influenced artists from Francis Bacon to Lucian Freud. Sickert's return to England after a long stay in Normandy meant that he was forgotten in France.
This reference monograph, the first in French, is richly illustrated with works by Sickert and his contemporaries and followers. It sheds new light on the scope of his work and his links with France.
