This is the fascinating story of two of the biggest characters in art \u2013 two larger-than-life immigrants who were battling for nothing less than the future soul of British painting: Sickert, the gruff, aggressive man-of-the-people, and Sargent, the urbane and charming dandy.<\/p>\n

Focusing on some of the most beautiful and alarming paintings ever made \u2013 pictures of aristocrats and prostitutes, coronations and killings, opera houses and music halls \u2013 the programme evokes the long-lost atmosphere of Edwardian London and shows how these two artists were waging a war whose legacy still haunts us today.<\/p>\n

Sickert vs Sargent also brings together the two biggest, juiciest stories of the two artists; on the one hand, Sargent\u2019s awful encounter with the moral codes of the day by painting Madame X with a dress strap falling down from her shoulder; on the other, Sickert\u2019s deliberate searching out of the dark and sinister in Edwardian Britain \u2013 most famously for painting his series on the subject of the famous Camden Town Murder.<\/p>\n
