Walter Sickert: Working Notes

Charleston in Lewes

Discover a fresh perspective on Walter Sickert, one of the most provocative figures in early twentieth-century British art. Focusing on his works on paper, including drawings and prints, it reveals an artist deeply engaged with repetition and translation in his quest to create extraordinary works carrying the uneasy charge of everyday life. For Sickert, drawing and print were not secondary to painting but central ways of thinking through modern experience. Though a generation older than the Bloomsbury group, he exhibited alongside them and influenced how artists approached interior spaces, urban scenes and emotional tension. The exhibition invites audiences to reconsider Sickert’s restless experimentation and his enduring capacity to unsettle. Exhibition created in partnership with Piano Nobile.
