• Resumen

  • A study of six of Walter Sickert's Echo paintings. The term Echo referred to the transformation by Sickert of black-and-white illustrations taken from the pages of long-forgotten mid-Victorian journals. This practice was part of an important campaign by Sickert to show that modern art did not have to reject the past. The six Echo paintings studied were adapted by Sickert from engravings by Sir John Gilbert that originally appeared in the London Journal and weekly record of art, literature and science (the original engravings having been discovered by the author).
