Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942) was an artist of prodigious creativity. 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. With his roots in the Victorian era, Sickert broke all taboos. 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.

Camden Town, in north-west London, gave its name to a style of painting and to a society of artists - the Camden Town Group - which held three exhibitions in 1911 and 1912. Both the style and the idea of creating an exhibiting society were formed by the interchange of ideas and influences at 19 Fitzroy Street, where in 1907 Walter Sickert first organized a number of painters, the Fitzroy Street Group, to contribute jointly to the rent of a studio. The style encompassed paintings domestic in scale, unpretentious in subject matter, informal and lively in execution. Its favourite themes included humble models, nude or clothed, in shabby bed-sitters; domestic still lives; London townscapes and landscapes studied on visits to the country and abroad.Sickert's own sombre paintings, in particular the Camden Town Murder series, have come to represent the group's oeuvre but, in this beautifully illustrated book, Wendy Baron explores the range of work created through and beyond the heyday of Camden Town painting by his younger colleagues, in particular Spencer Gore, Harold Gilman, Charles Ginner, Robert Bevan and Malcolm Drummond. She traces not only the history of the Camden Town Group but also how its disintegration and reabsorption by the Fitzroy Street Group spawned the London Group in 1913. Her account gives substance and context to the rival societies, conflicting allegiances and changing priorities of painters before the outbreak of war in 1914.This fascinating and scholarly book by the leading expert on the period contains the first full catalogues of publicly owned paintings by Walter Bayes, Bevan, Drummond, Gilman, Ginner, Gore, J.B. Manson, J.D.Innes, Maxwell Gordon Lightfoot and William Ratcliffe.Perfect Moderns is a revised edition, with new research, of Wendy Baron's much acclaimed The Camden Town Group published in 1979.
