Walter Sickert was a German-born English painter and printmaker who was a member of the Camden Town Group of Post-Impressionist artists in early 20th-century London. His work includes portraits of well-known personalities and images derived from press photographs. He is considered a prominent figure in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism.

After his childhood life as an actor, he got into the Slade School of Fine Art. After that, he worked as James McNeil Whistler\u2019s assistant and disciple and was affected by his refined colors.


In 1883, he met Edgar Degas in Paris, continued to learn modern painting, and built a reputation as a low-tone landscape painter. Degas’ opera, cafe scenery, and dancer paintings aroused interest in his theater, which was once an actor. And it was an opportunity to draw a picture based on this.

After marriage, Sickert became friends with various French artists and began painting in nature with wet techniques like Degas. He divided within the French Impressionism group and appeared as a separate group called “London Impressionism.”
