London Again
-
In February 1905, Sickert visited London to attend the International Society’s Whistler memorial exhibition. But he quickly became ensconced in London society, attending lunch and dinner parties, and making new friends who included most notably Elsie Swinton. Sickert had planned to return to France after the Whistler exhibition, but as Matthew Sturgis suggests, ‘the onset of his new infatuation seems to have made him reconsider.’
