Overview
Walter Sickert (1860-1942) belonged to the generation that absorbed the modernity of late nineteenth-century French art into British painting and printmaking. His work as a printmaker has been largely overlooked and unexplored until now. This book and catalogue raisonne bring together the substantial body of 226 prints by Sickert, along with their numerous different states, many in rare or unique impressions, and reveals the unorthodox and experimental techniques Sickert used frequently 'in dialogue' with related paintings and drawings.Synopsis
Walter Sickert (1860-1942), perhaps the most important and influential early modern British artist, completed an outstanding body of prints that have been little noticed until now. This catalogue raisonn brings together for the first time Sickert's 226 prints, many in rare or unique impressions, and discusses the artist's unorthodox techniques, the influences on his work, and the evolution of his printmaking career. Published for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art

As to the techinical triumph of Sickert's work, this can now be estimated, and, I think, acknowledged—all the more readily thanks to Ruth Bromberg's Walter Sickert: Prints, a catalogue raisonné of the artist's printed oeuvre.
