Description
Walter Sickert's dark and mysterious painting "The Camden Town Murder" has always aroused fascination and unease. Focused around the brutal killing of prostitute Emily Dimmock in Camden Town, 1907, it is a meticulous portrayal of the disjointedness of the commonplace. In recent times, the painter has been brought under even greater scrutiny following the allegations that the artist may have been Jack the Ripper. This books presents an authorititive account of the painting at the heart of one of modern art history's most disturbing controversies.
