By Tim Craven
"A clean and solid mosaic of thick paint in a light key" was a phrase aptly used by the leader of the Camden Town Group of artists, Walter Sickert, to describe the painting of this Edwardian group, who depicted their tea-and-cake world in a comparatively timid, but subtle and charming, Post-Impressionist style.
This book describes the work of Harold Gilman, probably the most talented of them, and his close friend and protégé the much less well-known William Ratcliffe.
The author, Tim Craven, is Collections Manager at Southampton City Art Gallery.
This book is first published to accompany the major exhibition at Compton Verney, ‘The Artist’s Studio’, staged at this great Adam-designed country house in Warwickshire. This rarely studied subject is covered in expert essays based upon new research from the late sixteenth century to the present day, focusing upon artists from Rembrandt and Courbet, via Rossetti and Cézanne to Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon.
