WALTER RICHARD SICKERT (1860-1942)
THE OLD BEDFORD (THE SMALL PLATE) (Bromberg 135) Etching, 1910, the only state, on tan wove paper 11 x 8.2cm.
* This image was etched in 1910 but the music hall had been pulled down 12 years before. The venue had been a particular favourite of Sickert's and he had produced etchings of it as early as 1888. Selective wiping has varied the tone of some of the impressions but the tightly-pressed crowd - some eager and attentive, some perhaps inclined to rowdier participation - capture well the artist's obsession with the spirited atmosphere of a music hall. The total edition size is unspecified as there was a numbered edition of 50 impressions on wove and also unnumbered impressions on laid (some of which were signed). ++ Wide margins, folded to fit the frame; slightly rubbed on the platemark; characteristic discolouration of the paper £800-1200 (+ 26.4% BP*)

* "The more simple I can make an image, the better I like it .. the 'less' can always expand the mind, whereas 'more' either constricts or becomes too much." (Farmer) Farmer studied at Chelsea Polytechnic School of Art and his work was shown with the London Group and at Heal's Art Gallery (1964). Some of his art was reproduced in Frank Avray Wilson's 'Art as Understanding' (1963) and Adrian Heath was a keen advocate of Farmer's style. Comparisons may be made with Scotsman William Johnstone's interpretations of 'Tachisme' which also sought an elegant understated abstraction allied to the fluent subtlety of Oriental calligraphy techniques. Artists working within Tachisme, such as Avray Wilson and members of the Cobra group, enjoyed exploring the spontaneity of mark-making with brushes of colourful wash. Each artist was guided solely by his own innate creative instincts and, importantly, colour balances and nuances of possible forms took priority over any specific narrative or theme. The finished works defied a literal interpretation. In a similar way, 'Art Informel' had arisen in France in the 1950's though, crucially, the adjective implied 'art without form' rather than any idea of casual, easy-going 'informality' ++ Good condition £400-600 (+ 26.4% BP*)
