About the Item

Walter Richard Sickert A.R.A. (British, 1860-1942) MAQUEREAUX (MACKEREL) signed 'Sickert' (lower right) oil on canvasboard 15 x 45.4 cm. (6 x 17 7/8 in.) PROVENANCE:With Durand-Ruel et Fils, Paris, 1904 With Rowland, Browse & Delbanco, London, 1947 Pamela Harris Sale; Sotheby's, 15 May 1985, lot 77 Sale; Phillips, London, 7 March 2000, lot 22 Sale; Bonhams, London, 30 May 2012, lot 37 Literature and Exhibition details are available on request. Before Sickert left for Venice in 1903 the artist became involved with Madame Villain, a divorced fishwife in Dieppe, who acted as both landlady and mistress to the artist. It was presumably from Villain that Sickert obtained the fish for this, and further still-life paintings of the period, including Dorades, Dieppe (circa 1902-3). Sickert was a member of the Camden Town Group of Post Impressionist artists. He was an important influence on the distinct British style of Avant-garde art in the mid 20th Century and is considered one of the most prominent figures in the transition from Impressionism to Modernism. In his early career he met Edgar Degas in Paris who’s use of pictorial space had a powerful effect on Sickert’s work. Much of his work would be a recurring interest in sexually provocative themes. Many of this models were believed to have been prostitues, whom Sickert may have known being a client. Sickert took a keen interest in the crimes of Jack the Ripper and is often mentioned in the mystery. He championed the works of Lucien Pissarro, Jacob Epstein, Augustus John and Wyndham Lewis.
