Events

The Camden Town Group, Breaking With Convention

Martin Beek, artist and art historian, explores the Camden Town group of post-Impressionist artists from 1911 until 1913, who lived and worked in the heart of London. Their paintings are fascinating for their spotlight on working people in the markets or the streets and everyday commerce. This talk particularly focuses on the leadership of Walter Sickert and the younger painters influenced by French post-impressionism before WWI.

The Camden Town Group, Interior and Exterior Worlds

Martin Beek, artist and art historian, examines why artists found this busy neighbourhood so exciting. Charles Ginner assimilated European styles into his very British metropolitan subjects. A clarity of vision and liveliness of style that brilliantly reflects urban life during this period. The Ashmolean has exceptional examples and there will be a chance to assess the contribution of Ethel Sands, Malcolm Drummond, and the developing careers of Walter Sickert, Harold Gilman and Frederick Spencer Gore.
