Iconic Painters Duel: Sickert vs Sargent | Perspective

hello this is valdemarian ustek art critic documentary producer and presenter and thanks for watching perspective youtube's home for classical art [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] it's the edwardian age around 1901 victoria is dead edward vii is king at last and he's arrived at exactly the same time as the new century so it all looks so hopeful people are expecting a lot and the nation's artistic soul wants to know where to go and who to follow [Music] and that's where it gets tricky the two biggest artists on the scene could hardly be more different this one here he's an american with fast hands john singer sergeant a bearded smoothie who specializes in dashing portraits of the rich and famous this other one he's more of a crumpled plodder walter sickert another foreigner born in germany and he paints places like this grubby bits of london and their grubby inhabitants so who's it to be the suave american or the dodgy lowlifer the era itself never made up its mind it liked a bit of both but we can't leave it at that we're here to decide we need to put them both back in the ring weigh them up and see who wins [Applause] [Music] [Music] an american painter not sergeant but thomas ekins described light once very americanly as the big tool i love that the big tool and it is in a painting light makes everything meaningful or not and how good you are or not and using this big tool is a decent measure of your worth as an artist [Music] now the hardest light of all to catch is something like this twilight it's getting dark but it's not there yet the light's going but you can still see what you're doing [Music] is what sergeant set himself the task of painting in his most famous and most popular picture the one with the curious floral title carnation lily lily rose [Music] sergeant had friends in the cotswolds a village called broadway he spent his summers there one twilight he saw a little girl playing in the garden underneath some chinese lanterns the site excited him and he set himself the task of capturing that moment easier said than done the chief problem with capturing the twilight is that it doesn't last very long a few minutes at best so painting this picture which looks so spontaneous and innocent actually involved a dogged campaign that required split second precision [Music] sergeant's easel was set up in front of the scene two small girls polly and dolly the daughters of his friend took up their poses the lanterns were lit and everybody waited for the light to be right sergeant meanwhile was playing tennis with the rest of the party and only at the appointed moment would he dash across to his easel and start painting for a few moments while the light was perfect [Music] as soon as it got too dark he returned to the tennis and finished his game this went on for two whole autumns until finally this dogged attempt to capture a moment of twilight was finished the title he gave his picture carnation lily lily rose was borrowed from a popular song that everyone was singing that season i've managed to track down the sheet music and i forced my own poor daughters to sing [Music] it sicker used the big tool too all the time but sweetness was never his thing and i don't suppose he believed in rural innocence sickert liked light that was urban and grubby as if it had been trampled on in the streets beaten up rained on and only then allowed to creep into the house through a dirty window [Music] when he was actually living here he liked painting that window a lot there used to be a view right through but now they've built this huge factory there and if you ask a cameraman if he likes filming in here he'll say no owen do you like filming in here no that's because there isn't much light actually making its way through this grubby window and what like there is is making everything silhouette against it it's an effect sicker was always trying to paint he called it contre against the light and the dark difficult paintings he did in here often set themselves the task the near damn impossible task of painting this contra jour effect when the light is as weak as the tenth cuppa from the same teabag [Music] most of the models sikka got in here were told to strip off and lie down on this horrible bed now you can't be a happy nude lying on this bed in this light so you have to be an edgy nude [Music] but there was one little girl who was about the same age as the girls in sergeants carnation lily she was a little jewish girl called rachel the daughter of a local grocer she was about 13 when sickert painted her and she had all this red hair now painting red hair against the light is doubly difficult sitkat would stand her by the window and he'd have her looking out what was he after well it certainly wasn't her innocence or her joadave poor little rachel she was 13 going on 90. but then life was like that around here and the big tools job in this house was to illuminate the pessimism [Music] so [Music] perfectly observed twilight or some spooky edwardian gloom both of them have their place in this schizophrenic era but isn't the gloom more interesting more edgy and isn't it more likely to be true [Music] okay [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] sergeants folks were from philadelphia came over to europe and pottered about elegantly vienna nice paris the traveling sergeants sampled europe as if it were a box of belgian chocolates [Music] little jordan sergeant was born in florence in 1856 on january the 12th which is my birthday too he seems to have been a very nice boy well-mannered dutiful perhaps a touch prickish he was really good at the piano one of those annoying kids who are top of the class at everything they do so when he tried art he was annoyingly good at that too see this portrait of his teacher a fancy dan called carlos duran quite a portrait eh [Music] sergeant was so good so quickly that he never really had a student era he was making striking art from the start [Music] and his appetite for luxurious travel inherited from his parents kept him very busy as a tourist too [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] the ruckus sergeant had been to spain and lucia and he'd seen some gypsy guitarists and flamenco dancers in this particularly lively bodiga in seville and he's had a go here at capturing their spirit their swirl their romance and mystery and above all their noise [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it's a lively and action-packed bit of painting about the click of the castaned and the bang bang bang of the dancer's feet but i have a problem there's something touristy about it that i don't like you can imagine it on the label of a bottle of rioja or painted on a fan bought from the duty-free shop at madrid airport and that's not something you could ever ever ever say of the early work of walters [Applause] most places in britain i have some picture of in my mind a sense of what they might look like but i have no sense whatsoever of the town in which sickert fetched up as a boy i just can't imagine it so i'm going there to see it sika wasn't born in england but in germany his father was a danish painter who'd settled in munich and his mother was the illegitimate daughter of an irish dancer so there was a stain on sicker's origins and emotional bleakness was his inheritance the first time sicker came to england was when he was five for an operation on his anus he developed some sort of internal cyst or fistula but the second time he came here was to live in this place that i can't picture it can't have been much of a life being uprooted like this and it certainly didn't fill him with hope [Music] sickert's first ambition wasn't to paint but to act he joined up with that celebrated actor henry irving up here in the lyceum and he chose for his stage name not walter sickert but mr nemo which if you know your latin means mr nobody now i'm not going to read too much into that but there is a pattern here a man of uncertain origins born with an inherited sense of illegitimacy bundled as a boy from non-descript town to nondescript town ends up painting non-description you do the psychology the acting didn't work out but his father was a painter and art was in his blood so he tried art school the slade but dropped out pretty quickly and became the pupil and all-purpose lick spittle of that pretentious specialist in foggy chelsea effects james abbott mcneil whistler a woman once told whistler that he and velasquez were the two greatest painters why dragon velazquez whistler replied sickert disappeared into whistler's possessive orbit for nearly a decade it took him so long to find himself but ever so slowly he did i saw a cyclic show once and this was in it described rather optimistically i thought on a label by the side a sickert's first masterpiece but look how small it is i just want to put it in a shoe box take it home and look after it it's a shop front in a french village near dieppe the shop's name is written up here renault charcuterie ruenez so it's monsieur renault's sausage shop before huge queues of ravenous french meat-eaters gather outside the door clamouring for their pork not there's so little going on in here almost nothing except this shaft of low soft autumn sunlight has illuminated the shop front and it's released all this lovely poppy red [Music] it's a humble little picture just a glorified sketch really it's 1888 sickert is pushing 30 and this is the best he can manage it's got something definitely but how much i just can't imagine the red shop as it's called being entered for the salon in paris picking up rave reviews being noticed by everyone as el haleo was noticed [Music] the red shop was painted when sikka was already 28 ish it's impressive in a subtle way and i love its modesty but when it comes to the beginning of a career sikhat's subtle stumblings are no match for the noisy arrival of sergeant this round has to go to the american [Applause] [Music] [Music] the vna's collection of dresses that changed history or at least influenced fashion a bit but it is true every now and then a dress does come along that has an extraordinary impact [Music] i was looking for that provocative black number that liz hurley wore the one held together with safety pins i'm sure you remember it but it's not here sergeant was at the center of a silly dress scandal too it was the defining scandal of his career and although that didn't change history either it did impact most dramatically [Music] was the most notorious beauty in paris like sergeant she was an american from louisiana her family was slave owning plantation types who'd settled in paris after the civil war which they didn't like losing emily found herself a middle-aged french banker who'd made his money in bat guano monsieur pierre gotto and she set about acquiring for herself a very modern type of notoriety [Music] she was an it girl before there were it girls famous for being famous they said she had many lovers and she definitely looked different from the rest with her ultra clean lines and that fantastic figure which she didn't mind showing off in scandalous dresses that left lots of amelie sticking out of them [Music] i bought this on ebay it's quite hard to find these days rice powder amelie used to coat herself with this stuff to make herself look more interesting and extra pale when she went swimming it all washed off and crowds would gather on the beach to see what her real color was her bodyguard this huge mulatto she'd imported from louisiana would wrap her in a giant towel carry her across the beach back to her dressing room so she was an early celeb and sergeant knew that if he painted her some of her notoriety would get him noticed too the picture took ages amelie was unreliable willful and lazy but eventually sergeant finished it and entered it for the salon of 1884 where the fuss exploded immediately she wasn't named in his title but everybody knew who this madame x was the crowd turned up to giggle she's as white as a corpse they laughed and as for that dress she might as well have turned up naked [Music] what was the fuss about i've lined up a comparison which i think makes it clearer on the left the sort of dress respectable women wore in paris at the time as painted by bonner who briefly taught sergeant on the right madame x as she came to be called in her little black number as you can see bona's dress covers stuff up it's frilly busy and doesn't show much but madame x oh she shows stuff all right what lovely shoulders what a fabulous shape the way her hair's pulled back that hourglass outline that profile it's as if sergeants stripped away the extras and got down to the real woman poor old sergeant as the fuss exploded around him he skulked about the salon pretending he wasn't there mother turned up at the studio and begged him to remove the painting you've ruined my daughter's reputation she screamed [Music] at some point as a token gesture of respectability and a rather cowardly act i think sergeant repainted her diamond encrusted shoulder strap so that the dress didn't look as if it were falling off quite so enticingly you can see here where the shoulder strap used to go underlying the reaction to madame x was some good old-fashioned french jingoism emily's real crime wasn't the dress or the makeup but being an american as of course was sergeant you know how the french are about americans anyway sergeant felt unwanted the commissions dried up in paris so he moved to london thus it's to madame eggs and that dress that we owe the arrival in british art of john singer sergeant [Music] sikhit's fame was to be changed by a scandal too a very deadly scandal but not just yet [Applause] wow [Applause] [Music] [Music] in the very first sherlock holmes story a study in scarlet published just after sergeant got here watson described london as that great cesspool into which all the loungers of the empire are irresistibly drained and it's true there are lots of lounges in chelsea sergeant himself wasn't a lounger of course but he painted plenty of them and the bit of london that he chose to settle down in was notoriously comfortable and hedonistic and it remains to this day the blue plaque capital of the capital [Music] so in this borough of swanky streets this one tight street is one of the swankiest and sergeant moved in here at number 33. [Music] thank you very much for for letting us come in here i mean it's a marvelous space so these are cause built weren't they for studios were built as students in 1880 and um whistler lived on the floor below here and lived here for several years and then he um then when he moved out sergeant moved in and the sergeant had used either this studio or the other one upstairs we never quite no but uh so he didn't have far to move when he went downstairs was this his first london studio or i think he'd been in london on and off but because he left after the trouble with the um he came here but i think he was around for a year or two um before he finally settled in the in the studio below here when he was here was he already um the most fashionable portrait painter in london or was this becoming very very popular already his uh best portraits were absolutely brilliant and you know they're up to the greatest portrait painters and he inevitably every portrait painter does some pictures which are a bit of turned out ones but i think when you the the one of the point sisters yes which he did when he was 28 yes um is an amazing bit of work yes he worked with great speed as well so this building here number 33 was sergeant's first tight street studio but as he grew more successful he expanded and eventually took over next door as well 31 tight street he actually knocked a hole between the two houses living chiefly over there working chiefly over here where he busily perfected the chelsea type my pose though ironical shows that my monocle [Music] so i wanted to know when you actually moved in here how much of sergeant remained and what did you have to do to bring it to the state it is now well when we bought the house this space had been brought down and the roof extended and a second floor put on so we brought the room back to the exact structure as when sergeant painted here the other thing that had happened is that these plasters had been stripped out and fortunately when this was done there was an artist living next door and when he found out this is julian barrows that we were bringing the house back to ever as close as we could to as it was when sergeant lived here he gave us the plasters back now was sergeant someone said evening that you were interested in i know you're a great art collector is he one of the people who who you have a particular feeling for anyway well i knew of him obviously because he painted quite a number of members of my family by chance we have this one of my grandmother and she lived at five hamilton place and also a country home and there was a remarkable lady and uh so this is um this is mrs leopold or afghanistan yeah there is it is said that during the edwardian age if a gentleman was at a dinner table with a woman and he didn't know what to say to her he could always say and how do you like your sergeant drawing yes she certainly would have had one well he did make a lot of them but [Laughter] everyone was lining up for it [Music] this is the 19th countess of suffolk but unlike the 18 who came before her margarita lita was an american at home she was called daisy and her father was levi ziegler lita who made his money in chicago in department stores and dry goods daisy married henry 19th earl of suffolk and 12th earl of berkshire in 1904. [Music] the edwardian wit sarki wasn't being sake at all when he wrote to die before being painted by sergeant is to go to heaven prematurely that's how it must have felt to those few chelsea it girls who missed out and i love that line by ozber sitwell about sergeants luxurious sitters looking at his portraits they understood at last how rich they were [Music] they're very enticing sergeants women sergeant himself pointed out a tad ungallantly i think women don't ask you to make them beautiful but you feel them wanting you to do that all the time that rings true doesn't it but they're not always conspicuously beautiful there's something else that sergeant discovers in the faces of his chelsea women that catches your attention and interests you in them i think it was sickert of all people who hit the nail on the head in this matter sergeant he complained is a master of those little touches of pickle provocation that respectable women are always so anxious to ah secure little touches of pecan provocation is there any woman in sergeant's bewitching coven of respectable chelsea girls who can't muster one of those [Music] it's difficult to imagine a more vivid urban contrast than the one you get when you compare sergeants london with sickers sickert was a north london man camden town mornington crescent and those in between bits of the smoke around king's cross that people end up in but never really choose that was his terrain and while sergeant stayed put in tight street sickert had this weird compulsion to keep moving he'd hop from studio to studio always finding new ones never getting rid of the old ones until he'd ended up with this truly dismal property empire in this area alone he had at least 20 studios [Music] yeah two up here harrington street if you saw my little somewhere in [Music] [Music] had a genius complained of amused friend for discovering the dreariest house in which to work it's a wonder if the landlord doesn't want to raise the rent there's no doubt though which is the most significant of sick at london studios and that's this one up here the one with the lonely plaque number six mornington crescent you could see to anymore sickert moved in here in 1905. he had some rooms on the ground floor and then in 1907 he moved up to the first floor and he painted some of his most mysterious some of his strangest and darkest and most interesting pictures there hello roger yes oh hi hi i'm vaude we've come right the the sickert film which you know about i do you've got the the guys here wow what a thrill next i've been looking at all the sick paintings that he did here okay for a long time right there are many many many paintings yes yeah and they have an atmosphere a very specific atmosphere you know you know when you look at them okay that they were done in mornington crescent paintings at all i've seen a couple of them yeah but i don't know any of these works really well you'd like them and they're very dark and dramatic quite a lot of them have got nude girls in them okay um with a mysterious atmosphere and these windows are in a lot of the pictures yes i've seen one painting with that woman by this window this window yes yeah a bit of a mistake yeah he hasn't hidden any pictures behind there funny you should say [Music] sick at local train station a friend of his william rothenstein got it absolutely right he said sikkert shows us a world that is drab dirty disillusioned whose pleasures are mirthless a world in fact such as we know and that's the thing sicker isn't making any of this up this is how it was oh [Music] [Applause] what does the overworked edwardian artist do at nights to recharge his batteries and reconnect with humanity like everyone else he goes out sergeant liked the theater the opera and that quintessential edwardian night out the at home where the evening is spent in posh company in the music room by the steinway enjoying a private entertainment music singing the odd joke dash it [Music] zika did a little of that too but his entertainment of choice was the music hall [Music] i'll be honest with you when i hear the words music hall i feel an allergic reaction coming on arthur askey my old man's a dust man gore blimey gov it done half make [Music] [Applause] [Music] but in its heyday which was sick at heyday too music hall was so alive it was the first great popular entertainment the tastes of the plebs were being catered for at last and sickert was its first and best chronicler [Music] i'm a young girl he was there most nights at the old bedford in camden or at gatties by hungerford bridge ogling the girls joining in with their choruses there's little dot heatherington the singing sweetie if anyone remembers her today it's only because sikka painted her the boy minnie cunningham entirely forgotten these days but in sickert's eyes a star it's all in the mind as merry minnie cunningham was a deliciously mysterious figure she was actually 39. but she passed herself off as 23. she'd come on stage looking sweet and innocent in a little girl's smock and a bow peep hat and like most of the female stars of the music hall she'd tease her audience with sneaky sexual innuendos [Music] her most notorious song was actually called the art of making love and sicker stole one of its lines for the title of his picture i'm an old hand at love but young in years minnie had many admirers up in the gallery and sickert was at the end of a long queue [Music] the musical girls didn't just perform on stage if you catch my drift there was a notorious blurring between working at the old bedford and working in bed dot hetherington was just 13. but back then 13 was the legal age of consent sickert was aware of these sexual tensions perhaps he felt them himself and in a revealing maneuver he turned away from the stage and looked up at the audience but the men in the gallery his dark art peered into their dark thoughts and sensed their predatory instincts they were faceless voyeurs staring at the little dots and the minis on stage and he was a voyeur staring at the voyeurs sensing their mood sharing it perhaps [Applause] when you first look at these brown musical pictures of sickets you might think there's nothing going on in them but there is oh yes there is sergeant would occasionally venture into the music hall too he wasn't totally averse to a bit of rough but it wasn't his entertainment of choice as henry james once put it sergeant was civilized to his fingertips so when he went out to the theater it was to sit in someone's private box and to witness a theatrical triumph of shakespearean dimensions ellen terry as lady macbeth what a terrifying spectacle look at those eyes my god terry was the leading actress of her times funnily enough sickert had worked with her too in his days as an actor at the lyceum but by the time sergeant painted her she was in the helen mirren league a theatrical national treasure [Music] let's just place ellen terry i mean it's fair to say she was definitely the most famous artist of her time wasn't she absolutely i mean it's unbelievable now for us to realize how famous she was she'd go down piccadilly and the manager of fortunes would rush out with a tray of cheeses you know for her in her carriage to lean over and just take one i mean everything stopped for ellen terry she was the most highly paid most adored actress of the time so was she a hit in uh in in macbeth she was actually every single performance was booked out i mean she she she really did um attract crowds of people to go and see her do you know joe it's so exciting seeing the actual dress is being restored at the moment but um you know if you know it only from the paintings is it nasty to say that from close up it it looks slightly less splendid i mean it's uh you're absolutely right when they're on stage and as you say with gaslight um it looks absolutely real the the the material itself was meant to give the impression of kind of soft chain mail and indeed also the scales of a serpent so people say it's this unspecific moment but i disagree i think i found the exact passage uh in in macbeth that sergeant's tried to paint now imagine this picture you've got a costume in front of you i'm going to read a bit of this i won't read it as well as ellen terry must have said it but don't tell me this hasn't got that atmosphere of the painting okay so you just come in she's knows that she's going to persuade macbeth to commit this murder and she needs to find something dark within herself that will make her go through with it and this is what she says come you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts unsex me here and fill me from the crown to the toe top full of direst cruelty isn't that it filling up with evil from the crown to the toe yes that's quite true and in fact sergeant um who saw her you know come on um in this dress in the first scene apparently you know silence and he said i say i say very awarded she looked stunning [Music] round six [Applause] [Music] are you familiar with the work of patricia cornwall the celebrated american crime writer because i'm not this is the only thing of hers i've read and it's put me off reading anything else by her it came out in 2002 and as you can see it's called portrait of a killer jack the ripper case closed and the case is closed because patricia cornwall claims that jack the ripper who murdered and mutilated five prostitutes around here was actually walter [Music] i won't bore you with the details there's loads and loads of circumstantial stuff mixed in with tremulous speculation about sickert's psychological profile [Music] remember i told you that he first came to england for an operation on his anus this anal fist dealer he had well in cornwall's thesis the fistula has moved from his anus to his penis and the operation goes terribly wrong leaving sickert angry frustrated and only half a man so he takes it out on girls and turns into jack the ripper i said it was preposterous [Music] amazingly though sickert's past did contain an actual link to the ripper a previous lodger at the house in mornington crescent wasika had his studio was a veterinary student from bournemouth who was one of the ripper suspects when sikka moved in here he found himself living in the same room as the bournemouth lodger which moved him to paint this particularly impenetrable and spooky picture [Music] now one of the reasons that sickert liked living here was because there was this rumor that uh someone who was suspected of being jack the ripper lived here do you know about this story i heard the story yes i heard the story and um who knows really who knows well you haven't noticed anything about the atmosphere in here yourself have you my girlfriend she had an experience she got up one night to go to the teacher use the toilet and she claimed she saw a dark figure standing by the window the kitchen window this this windows here yeah like a long black cloak and she said that she looked rubbed her eyes and it was gone a long black cloak yeah yeah now was that before you heard about the jack the ripper stories this was way after yeah the after after yeah after so you already knew about all that i did yeah yeah and my son also claimed that he saw a man standing by this window he was about eight years old at the time and he says dad i just thought i saw a man standing by the window and after a while i thought it'd be spooked for about a week after so they've been quite a few ghost sightings yeah yeah [Music] the ripper murders took place in 1888 a couple of decades before sikka moved in here but on the 12th of september 1907 while sika was away in france again somebody turned up in camden town just up the road here and killed another prostitute emily dimmuck slipped her throat from ear to ear and once again the killer was never caught [Music] the tabloid press dubbed this gory slaying the camden town murder and when sick had got back to london he did something eerie he painted a set of bleak and puzzling pictures which he called the camden town murders they show a woman on a bed naked lumpy with a man who's worn out and lost in dark and private thought [Music] they're unsettling no doubt about that but there's no sign of an actual murder in these haunting pictures no blood no throat slitting just a deep sense of unhappiness and of awful urban failure [Music] well i think this is the uh the book that has just been this is your book about the camden town murder with let's go back to the beginning here so we've obviously got a woman who gets murdered yeah and her name was emily dimmick right with emily tell me about her it's unfair to call her a prostitute she did like what so many older working-class women do to augment the rent to give them a better life she sold her body on the streets to whomever and she sometimes usually took them back to her accommodation in aegon road or vincent palgero she was seen leaving this pub at 9 30 on the 11th of september 1907 and that was the last time she was seeing alive until she was found the next morning um about half past 11 on the 12th of september by her commonwealth husband so she lives just around the corner from here yeah very close to this apartment now one thing that interests me is why this particular murder caught everybody's imagination you had a very working-class girl who was um for one of a better term be called a prostitute but also the details of emily dimmick's life must have titillated her audience i mean this idea that her husband or her sorry her common-law husband was working on the railways and whilst he was away she was you know it's the um the seedy side of life [Music] here we are is this it yeah here we are good lord so how did sikker get involved in all this so he was suspected of actually doing it the only reason i could find it got got involved in this because patricia cornwall said he was in all the police investigations his name is never mentioned um it had no resemblance whatsoever to to previous ripper assault so patricia cornwall's argument is that because she thinks he was the ripper originally um that for some reason he stopped murdering women and then for 19 years for 19 years and then 19 years later he comes back he murders another one in a different way and indeed in a different location because this is not white chapel right but because he does these pictures which he calls the camden town murder that sort of means he's the ripper yeah that's cut and dry there you go you see two messy scandals two enormous fusses about nothing the madame gatro thing and the water sticker is jack the ripper nonsense tell us far more about the people doing the accusing than they do about the men doing the painting i see both these absurd scandals as a defeat [Music] so there you have it the noisiest artistic bun fight of the edwardian age now who won i was on the tube this morning wondering what i was going to say here and there was this chat next to me wearing headphones listening to rap music thumping aggressive i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do this whole i wanted to ask him to turn it down but frankly i didn't have the nerve i thought he might stab me or something because that's the world we live in so what am i trying to get at well if they ever bring back the 18th century then sergeant is clearly your man a brilliant technician and a lightning quick capturer of pecan likenesses but they're not going to bring back the 18th century and you get no sense at all from sergeant of what the world was becoming sickert on the other hand saw it all unhappy people in glum rooms alienated children dodgy actresses a world obsessed with murder and cheap tabloid headlines so there's no question he was the more important artist the only question is is that a good thing [Music] is you
