EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases two interconnected works by Walter Richard Sickert from 1894, titled "The Old Bedford (recto)" and "The Gallery of the Old Bedford (verso)". These intriguing images offer a glimpse into the bustling nightlife of Camden Town, a working-class district in London during the late 19th century. On the recto side, "The Old Bedford" portrays a crowded music hall scene, filled with men and women engrossed in their activities. The Old Bedford was a popular venue for music and entertainment, and Sickert masterfully captures the energy and excitement of the moment through his pen and black ink with brush and gray wash technique. The verso side, "The Gallery of the Old Bedford," reveals a more introspective and quieter scene. Here, a woman sits alone, gazing at a portrait hanging on the wall. The use of pen and ink drawing adds to the sense of intimacy and contemplation. As a key figure of the Camden Town Group and the Post-Impressionist movement in Britain, Sickert's works often explored the concept of modern urban life and the passage of time. These two images, with their contrasting themes and compositions, offer a compelling snapshot of the era and the artist's unique perspective. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to hold this significant pair of works in its esteemed collection, showcasing the institution's commitment to preserving and sharing the heritage of art from the 19th century and beyond.
