Initially, Sickert had tried to make a career in theatre before painting. He loved music halls, and painted many during the late 19th century.
Sickert
Three misfits: Lucien Pissarro, a Neo-Impressionist landscape painter and print-maker; Maxwell Lightfoot, brilliant but scathingly critical of the others; Walter Taylor, friend of Douglas Fox Pitt.
He became a close friend of Lucien Pissarro, joined the Camden Town Group as its secretary. He later became Director of the Tate Gallery, and painted flower arrangements.
Although never a member of the Camden Town Group, he was a close associate who was an active painter, as well as being a patron, collector and advocate.
A pupil of Sickert, his painting are high in chroma and influenced by Post-Impressionism. He has sadly become largely forgotten today.
Completed his training in 1908, then progressed rapidly to Fauvist landscapes. Exhibited at the 1913 Armory Exhibition in New York, but dead in 1914.
He divided his time between summer painting in the Blackdown Hills in East Devon, and views of London and its remaining working horses.
Trained in Paris, visited the Pont-Aven art colony and met Gauguin, his early style was radical. He documented the last decades of working horses in London, and rural East Devon.
A friend of Spencer Gore and Charles Ginner, he painted interiors, portraits, and landscapes, which were originally made in front of the motif.
In the latter half of 1912, his style became overly Fauvist and was also influenced by Cubism. A move back to London brought a reversion, though.
