Camden Town Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Camden Town Group was a group of English Post-Impressionist artists during 1911-1913. They gathered frequently at the studio of painter Walter Sickert in the Camden Town area of London.

In 1908 critic Frank Rutter had created the Allied Artists Association, a group separate from the Royal Academy artistic societies and modelled on the French Salon des Indépendants. Many of the artists who became the Camden Town Group exhibited with the AAA.

The members included Harold Gilman, Frederick Spencer Gore, Lucien Pissarro (the son of French Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro), Wyndham Lewis, Walter Bayes, J.B. Manson, Robert Bevan, Augustus John, Henry Lamb, and Charles Ginner.

The group organized the exhibition of Cubist and Post-Impression paintings.
