Walter Sickert (1860-1942) was one of the pioneers of English modernism, making a lasting impression on twentieth-century English figurative painting, particularly that of Lucian Freud and Francis Bacon. From the outset, he dealt with unusual, even transgressive themes - music halls, realistic nudes in modest interiors, distressing or ambiguous genre scenes - by means of disconcerting framing or strange tonalities. Close to his mentor Edgar Degas, but also to artists such as Pierre Bonnard, he developed a strong bond with France, which encouraged him to renew his way of painting. From the modernisation of the traditional genre of the conversation piece to the transposition of images from popular culture, this provocative and fascinating artist never ceased to reinvent himself, beyond all conventions.

Exhibition at the Petit Palais from October 14th 2022 to January 29th 2023.
