Sickert founded the Camden Town Group, which was influenced by–and is often technically labeled as a part of–Post-Impressionism, though this denies the strong influence that Expressionism played on the creation and identity of the artistic movement. As for Sickert, he was a strange man, often finding himself absorbed with macabre murders–he was obsessed with Jack the Ripper. I always found a dark quality emanating from his paintings, something that seems to be a couple of steps from insanity.
