	Walter Sickert
		However careful the design, and Sickert was undoubtedly a sophisticated orchestrator, there is often an awkwardness bordering on the clumsy, as a fleeting glimpse or an adhoc arrangement throws the picture and in turn the viewer off balance, and however sensuous the colour there is often a sense of its suppression.
		Sickert may have taken up the challenge of Baudelaire's call for painters of modern life, but he was clearly dissatisfied with the limitations implicit in the `solutions' of the Impressionists.
		A path towards abstraction is, in fact, as implicit in Sickert's tendency towards an increasingly expansive handling of paint, with its incorporation of large expanses of unmodulated colour as it is in Cubism's emphasis on a front plane and its simplification of forms.

		Sickert's enthusiastic espousal of such schemes was, however, underpinned by the knowledge that, even on the jostling walls of the Albert Hall, his paintings would always stand out, in the originality of their vision, the daring of their subject matter and the personal quality of their execution.

		Sickert was known to have secret studios or "rat holes"-as many as three or four at a time, which would have facilitated his cleaning up after his crimes, storing his bloody clothing, changing clothing and keeping souvenirs, such as body parts, without being detected.

		Sickert met JW in 1879 when he was a student at the Slade School of Art.
		Sickert for his part had grown independent of JW, and was able to view his master with both affection and at times devastating clarity of judgment.
		Sickert and Pennell were two of the artists who admired JW most and knew him best, but either through a lack of judgement, scrupulousness, or, in Sickert's case, from sheer devilment, authentications by them are by no means reliable.
