The Courtauld Institute of Art was founded in London in 1932, and a series of three exhibitions is being held to mark its seventy-fifth anniversary: one devoted to Walter Sickert, another to Pierre Auguste Renoir, and the third to Paul Cezanne. The first exhibition, Walter Sickert: The Camden Town Nudes, explores the artist's realist approach to the nude. It contains more than twenty-five canvases and related drawings from both public and private collections. A highlight will be the reunion of his four Camden Town Murder paintings, which date from 1908 and 1909, for the first time since they left the artist's studio. Sickert's subject is the infamous 1907 murder of the prostitute Emily Dimmock in the Camden Town district of London.
