Walter Sickert: The Camden Town Nudes
In his day, William Sickert was a bit of a shocker. Reacting against what he called the 'obscene monsters' typical of the early C20th – those vacuous conceptions of the idealized nude that lacked all reference to reality, representing only 'an artistic and intellectual bankruptcy' – he produced some of his most vital work upon his return to London from France, settling in seedy Camden Town from 1905-1912. His nudes from this period are raw and alive, pregnant with contemporary settings and social implications, and none less so than his poignant, disturbing Camden Town Murder series. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Courtauld, over 25 of Sickert's nudes are collected for the first time, re-examining and paying rare homage to his effective reinvention of the modern nude.

K&T: I've dreamed of this since I was a little girl
It's hard to believe that K & T are twins. Their Broadway Market exhibition feels very much like the product of three artists rather than two, or else of a single multi-talented prodigy with too much time on her hands. It make one wonder if they might in fact be Siamese. In the first of their artistic modes, enormous, finely-painted female faces hover before flat backgrounds, their emotions laid bare, curiously inviting yet unsettlingly without context. In the second mode, large stencilled lettering is stamped over a tessellated background of contrasting colours, unravelling a relationship between a young couple. And the twins' final set of offerings – life-size line drawings of women's clothing – continue the themes of honesty and modesty, identity, privacy and representation.
