British Post-Impressionist group based in Camden Town, north London, founded by Walter Sickert in 1911. Other members were Bevan, Gore, Gilman, Ginner. The group painted realist scenes of city life and some landscape in a range of Post-Impressionist styles. Named after the seedy district of north London where Sickert had lived in the 1890s and again from 1907. His series of Camden Town nudes and his paintings of alienated couples in interiors, such as Ennui, are his outstanding contribution to Camden Town art.
