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.
