Walter Sickert: A Life

$15.30

The painter Walter Sickert was a man of contradictions: a radical reactionary, a reclusive socialite, a traditionalist and an innovator, a philanderer who believed in the sanctity of marriage, an internationalist grounded in the heart of the English school. In this superb biography, Matthew Sturgis provides the first fully documented account of Sickert’ s long and colorful life, drawing on new sources to capture the spirit of a man whose influence remains visible in the work of artists today.

Walter Sickert: The Camden Town Nudes

$50.00

This is the first publication devoted to Walter Sickert’s remarkable group of paintings of female nudes produced in and around Camden Town between 1905 and 1912 and now considered to be among his most important and provocative works.

Body of evidence After months of menacing phone calls and feeling that her every move is being watched, successful writer Beryl Madison flees Key West when a terrifying message is scratched on her car. But the very night she returns to Richmond, she deactivates her burglar alarm and opens her door to someone who nearly decapitates her.

Pursuing the answers involves Scarpetta in the murder of another writer — Beryl’s jealous mentor. While she copes with a variety of personal and professional problems, Scarpetta’s high-tech forensic skills enable her to collect a body of evidence — clues that would mean little without her intelligence, compassion, and imagination — that leads her directly into a nightmare all her own.

With skilled hands, an unerring eye, and the latest advances in forensic research, an unrelenting female medical examiner — Kay Scarpetta — is determined to unmask a maniac.

Racing against time, Kay must draw upon her own personal resources to track a murderer skilled at eliminating every clue.

To save her career, Scarpetta retraces Waddell’s bloody footprints, following a trail that might lead to long-hidden secrets deep within the state government. Performed by Kate Burton
