A short-lived group of sixteen - all male - artists, who met on a weekly basis, often at the studio of Walter Sickert in Camden, north London, from which the group derived their name. They held three exhibitions together at the Carfax Gallery in 1911 and 1912. The artists involved, especially Sickert, Gilman, Ginner and Gore, were interested in portraying everyday life and people in pre-War London and they all largely shared an interest in Post-Impressionist painting. In 1913 the group evolved into the London Group. The selection of artworks below includes one painting from each artist from this three year period. Developed in association with Grant Waters, Art Detective Group Leader: South East England, East England and the Midlands.
