PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
George Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish writer of novels, poetry, plays and art criticism. His first ambition was to be a painter, and he spent much of the 1870's in Paris, where he came to know many of the leading figures in art and literature. Walter Sickert (1860-1942), of mixed Danish, German and English blood, became one of the most powerful followers of Degas in England, and an important link between Impressionism and Modernism. He also wrote much important art criticism. Anna Gruetzner Robins is Professor of History of Art at the University of Reading. She was co-curator of `Degas, Sickert and Toulouse-Lautrec: London and Paris 1870-1910', 2005 and editor of `Walter Sickert: The Complete Writings on Art', 2000.
