Not that sort of ladykiller ; Poor old Walter Sickert. Not many groundbreaking British artists have been accused of being psychopathic sex killers. Tom Rosenthal welcomes the sanity of a major new study, a landmark in Sickert studies which confirms that, rather than a candidate for Jack the Ripper, he was a gregarious, diligent and fascinating man ++ Sickert: Paintings and drawings By Wendy Baron YALE [pound]55

Walter Richard Sickert (1860-1942) was much affected by both diplomatic history and unusual parentage. He was born in Munich to a Danish painter father and an English mother. There was a strong likelihood that little Walter and his brothers would eventually become conscripts in the Prussian army, so the family moved to England. From his father, Sickert inherited painterly gifts which, like many a good son before and after him, he greatly exceeded. From his mother's father he clearly absorbed genetically a character of much energy and considerable eccentricity.
