Sickert Camden Town

Introducing The Camden Town Group in Context (The Camden Town Group in Context) | Tate




The Camden Town Group was a short-lived exhibiting society of artists, the name of which has since become synonymous with a distinctive type of painting and period in the history of British art before the First World War.
Named after the area of north London in which the artists Walter Sickert and Spencer Gore lived and painted, the Camden Town Group held just three exhibitions, all at the Carfax Gallery in fashionable St James’s, London, in 1911 and 1912. The group dissolved in 1913 but for a period it represented a determined effort by painters to explore new ways of representing the everyday realities of urban life in Edwardian Britain.
