Red and BW-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. 312 pp. Illustrations. Walter Sickert 1860-1942 was possibly the most important and influential early modern British artist. He belonged to the generation that absorbed the modernity of late nineteenth-century French art into British painting and printmaking. His outstanding work as a printmaker has been largely overlooked and unexplored until now. This book and catalogue raisonné bring together for the first time the substantial body of 226 prints by Sickert along with their numerous different states many in rare or unique impressions and it reveals the unorthodox and experimental techniques Sickert used frequently "in dialogue" with related paintings and drawings. -Jacket.

This catalog is the most comprehensive volume on the artist now available. Jane Livingston's extensively researched biographical essay covers Diebenkorn's entire career and concentrates on the artist's inner life and purposes as revealed in his paintings. Ruth Fine deals primarily with the figurative aspect of Diebenkorn's work 1955-67 and John Elderfield concentrates on the Ocean Park period 1967-93. All three authors provide valuable insights based on their personal relationships with the artist and his widow Phyllis. On both page and canvas the reader can sense Diebenkorn's complexity and highly self-conscious working methods as well as his formidable integrity.
