Some highlights from the Sickert show at @tate Britain. It’s a good show and well put together - particularly when showing how much he learned from Degas and Whistler. And yet Sickert never really had a Number One hit, did he? He maybe had three or four Top 10s, a dozen or so in the mid to low Top 40s, and apart from the rest dropping briefly in and out of the Top 100 that was about it. Is he therefore the Ultravox of British art, with ‘Ennui’ as his ‘Vienna’? And if so, who is the Joe Dolce Music Theatre? Harold Gilman? #stretchedmetaphors #top10 #ukcharts #sickert #waltersickert #tate #tatebritain #londongallery #londonmuseum #londongalleries #londonmuseums #ultravox #joedolce #80spop #joedolcemusictheatre #onehitwonder #shaddupyouface #britishart #haroldgilman (at Tate Britain) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdl6MvoIbg4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
