Piano Nobile

Dieppe
Sickert lived in Dieppe between 1898 and 1905. The Lucases took a concerted interest in the extended, chaotic nature of Sickert’s creative process, and they often selected prints and drawings that belonged to a single line of pictorial development. Sickert worked La Rue Notre Dame, Dieppe more extensively than any other print in his career. The signature was reworked, figures were added, areas of shadow were elaborated, the contrejour effect of the buildings was deepened with aquatint, and so on. Harold Wright identified twelve states, but the researches of Ruth Bromberg show that the plate in fact went through no fewer than sixteen states.
