Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1911
Mornington Crescent
Spencer Gore's painting shows the view from his first-floor room at 31 Mornington Crescent, looking across Crescent Gardens, towards Mornington Crescent Tube Station. Gore rented the Mornington Crescent room from 1909 until 1912 when, newly married, he moved to Houghton Place. For some of this time, his close friend and colleague, Walter Sickert, also lived in the street.
Gore painted this view in an Impressionistic manner characteristic of his styles at this period. A key figure of the Camden Town Group, he was a painter of rural, as well as urban, scenes.
