The Toilet By Spencer Gore Revealed! - Video

In this episode, we'll be visiting The Toilet by Spencer Gore at The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.

Spencer Frederick Gore was born in Surrey, England in 1878. I particularly like this Oil on canvas, "The Toilet". The museum tell us of the piece: "Gore was a contemporary of Augustus John and William Orpen at the Slade School of Art (1896-99) and went on to become a key figure in Fitzroy Street, Camden Town and London Artists' groups. He was especially close to Sickert, whose series of nudes in shabby interiors strongly influenced this picture. Gore was also inspired by the example of Sickert's older friend, Degas, whose own paintings and pastels frequently show women quietly engaged in the act of washing".
