Walter Sickert (1860-1942), a British painter, is famous for his depictions of the music hall, its artistes, audience and elaborate interiors and also for his views of Venice and Dieppe. Long regarded as simply a follower of the Impressionists, he has now come to be seen to have strong affinities with a wide range of artists from Hogarth to Keene, from 19th-century German illustrators to Rouault and Munch. He embraced formal portraiture and idyllic landscape, controversial domestic scenes (such as "Camden Town Murder"), and portrayals of public figures, the canals of Venice, the old streets of Dieppe and contemporary scenes of England in the 1930s. This publication is to coincide with, and serve as the catalogue of, a retrospective exhibition at the Royal Academy from November 1992 to February 1993.

REVIEW
Swiss graphic design and the Swiss Style are crucial elements in the history of modernism. During the 1920s and 30s, skills traditionally associated with Swiss industry, particularly pharmaceuticals and mechanical engineering, were matched by those of the countrys graphic designers, who produced their advertising and technical literature. These pioneering graphic artists saw design as part of industrial production and searched for anonymous, objective visual communication. They chose photographic images rather than illustration, and typefaces that were industrial-looking rather than those designed for books.Written by noted design authority Richard Hollis, this lavishly illustrated volume looks at the uniquely clear graphic language developed by such Swiss designers as Theo Ballmer, Max Bill, Adrian Frutiger, Karl Gerstner, Armin Hoffman, Ernst Keller, Herbert… Leer más
