Walter Sickert RA (1860-1942) 'La Maison Blanche, Dieppe', 1902 signed 'Sickert' l.l., oil on board 17.5 x 14cm Provenance: With Arthur Tooth & Sons Ltd., London, no. 2336; Sotheby's, London, 5 April 2001, lot 264; The David and Pam McCleave Collection of Modern British Art. Walter Richard Sickert was a pivotal figure in British avant-garde painting in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He favoured ordinary people and urban scenes as his subjects, with a preference for the light palette and high-keyed colour of the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Sickert’s work was particularly important for links between Britain and France. Not only did he have a profound relationship with French artists like Edgar Degas, he was also a founder member of the New English Art Club, formed as a French-influenced alternative to the Royal Academy. Condition Report: Framed: 27 x 23cm Rubbing to the left edge with a small loss to the extreme top right corner. Under UV light there are some small areas of retouching to the edges of the building in the lower right quarter.

WALTER RICHARD SICKERT (BRITISH 1860-1942)THE RIALTO BRIDGEOil on canvasSigned (lower left)65.5 x 49.5cm (25¾ x 19¼ in.)Painted circa 1901.Provenance: Gaston Bernheim, ParisJacques Rodriguez-Henriques, Paris Sale, Sotheby's, London, 1 May 1991, lot 15Acquired from the above sale by the present ownerLiterature: Wendy Baron, Sickert Paintings & Drawings, New Haven and London, 2006, p. 263, no. 165 (illustrated)Sickert first visited Venice in 1894 with his wife Ellen. Although there is no record of him painting during this brief stay, he was known to have referred to it as the loveliest city in the world and it undoubtedly enthralled him as he was to return for more extended visits, inspiring him to paint some of his most important and critically acclaimed works.In May 1896 Sickert returned to Venice and took as his studio a flat at 940 Calle dei Frati, keeping it for all his subsequent visits. A few minutes' walk to the Accademia and Grand Canal, just north of the Zattere, Sickert visited and painted the famous buildings and sites of Venice, returning to the same spot on numerous occasions to repeat the process at different times of the day. Indeed, repetition was a key feature of Sickert's work in general but notably in his views of Venice and Dieppe. In Venice, he painted version after version of the façade and piazza at San Marco, the Santa Maria della Salute, the Rialto Bridge and the Scuola di San Marco. His dedication to revisiting the same locations echoes the architectural series of works produced by the Impressionists and, in particular bear comparison with Monet's series of paintings of Rouen Cathedral. However, unlike the Impressionists, he was not overly interested in recording the passing of time and light on his subject matter but rather to disentangle from nature the illumination that brings out most clearly the character of each scene. (W. Sickert, French Pictures, Knoedler's Gallery, Burlington Magazine, July 1923, pp.39-40).Consequently, Sickert's paintings were frequently executed in his studio from drawings and small oil sketches. He showed scant interest in the effect of changing atmospheric conditions. Instead, he used this repetition to explore variations in colour and tone, experimenting with the handling of paint and the different emotional responses that these variations provoked.The most important of these were a small number of pictures depicting Venice at nightfall. These are reminiscent of the works of his earlier teacher, James McNeill Whistler, who famously painted London and Venice at night, referring to them as Nocturnes or Symphonies. Whistler used musical terms in the title in order to appeal directly to the viewer's senses without the need for narrative or subject. This synthesis of individual artistic disciplines appealed to a deeper, more visceral emotion than mere aesthetics. Although Sickert does not use the same language as his master the intent is very similar.In the present work Sickert depicts the unmistakable site of the Rialto Bridge from the Grand Canal, however he is not exploring Canalettos's topographical splendour or indeed Monet's fleeting light dancing on the water and reflecting on the Palazzos; he is appealing directly to the viewer's senses. Through the carefully chosen colours and tones, he creates a deep emotional response that transcends the obvious beauty of the subject and in turn impels the viewer to look beyond the subject and reflect on his own personal reaction to the painting.It is not Sickert recording his experience before the subject, but rather it is the experience of standing before the painting itself and it is this that makes this work as contemporary today as it was when it was painted over 100 years ago in the loveliest city in the world.

Walter Richard Sickert United Kingdom, England, Germany, (1860 - 1942) Mornington Crescent, female reclining nude charcoal and chalk on paper Signed lower left. Provenance: Originally owned by Carl Lyman, Lyman Bros Gallery / Framers, Indianapolis, IN. Biography from the Archives of askART: Walter Richard Sickert was a painter, actor, etcher, teacher and lecturer who was known as the "dandy and the raffish scourge of genteel bohemianism of the Bloomsbury Group, the deliberate vulgarian and the enemy of every sort of academicism." It was written that "his life was a trail of dumped pictures and abandoned marriages". Sickert was active throughout Great Britain, primarily in London, and for many years struggled to make a living. Wendy Baron, former director of the British Government Art Collection, is the "doyenne" of researching and authenticating his work, which is difficult because he frequently signed works that were not his simply because he liked them. He often copied images that he saw in newspapers or 19th century engravings. Some of his subject matter came from his favorite haunts, which where "raucous music halls with the dodgiest clients and floozies on call." He also loved the theatre, and drew actors and actresses as they performed, and another favored subject were bedroom scenes with men getting dressed and women lolling on unmade beds. During a long creative career of painting and printmaking, he completed about 2,800 works. Wendy Baron has included them in a 2007 book of 544 pages, Sickert: Paintings & Drawings, published by Yale University Press. Source: William Feaver, "A Postmodern Dandy", ARTnews, May 2007. p. 112

Walter Richard Sickert United Kingdom, England, Germany, (1860 - 1942) Mornington Crescent, female reclining nude charcoal and chalk on paper Signed lower left. Biography from the Archives of askART: Walter Richard Sickert was a painter, actor, etcher, teacher and lecturer who was known as the "dandy and the raffish scourge of genteel bohemianism of the Bloomsbury Group, the deliberate vulgarian and the enemy of every sort of academicism." It was written that "his life was a trail of dumped pictures and abandoned marriages". Sickert was active throughout Great Britain, primarily in London, and for many years struggled to make a living. Wendy Baron, former director of the British Government Art Collection, is the "doyenne" of researching and authenticating his work, which is difficult because he frequently signed works that were not his simply because he liked them. He often copied images that he saw in newspapers or 19th century engravings. Some of his subject matter came from his favorite haunts, which where "raucous music halls with the dodgiest clients and floozies on call." He also loved the theatre, and drew actors and actresses as they performed, and another favored subject were bedroom scenes with men getting dressed and women lolling on unmade beds. During a long creative career of painting and printmaking, he completed about 2,800 works. Wendy Baron has included them in a 2007 book of 544 pages, Sickert: Paintings & Drawings, published by Yale University Press. Source: William Feaver, "A Postmodern Dandy", ARTnews, May 2007. p. 112

Sickert (Walter, painter, 1860-1942) Autograph Letter signed to "Monsieur", in French, 1p., 155 x 200mm., n.p., n.d., [c. 1914], "I would like to make a correction. My friend Mr Fry was wrong when he said that I was German. I am German in the same way as my friend Mr. Barrès is German. My father was from Flensburg in Schleswig. My mother is English. Three years after the annexation of Schleswig by Prussia, my father came to settle in England where he became a naturalized Englishman during my minority. At a time like this when we all seek the same hope it would be painful for me to know a Frenchman who did not embrace me wholeheartedly on the side of civilization", one punch hole, slightly browned.
