-Impressionism, Post-Impressionism
-Walter Richard Sickert was a British painter and a leading figure in the transition from Impressionism to modern art in Britain. He was known for his atmospheric urban scenes, portraits, and interior studies, often capturing the mood and character of his subjects with a sense of ambiguity and psychological depth. Sickert's style evolved over his career, moving from a more traditional Impressionist approach to a looser, more experimental technique influenced by Post-Impressionism and early modernism. He was fascinated by the play of light and shadow in urban environments, and his paintings often depicted scenes of everyday life in London and Venice. Sickert's work had a significant impact on British art, inspiring later generations of artists with its innovative approach and exploration of modern themes.
