The Camden Town Group was a short-lived group set up by Walter Sickert in 1911 to provide a platform for modern art. Of the 16 members, the main protagonists were Robert Bevan, Harold Gilman, Charles Ginner and Spencer Gore, all of whom shared visual affinities, including an interest in post-Impressionism, and were representative of Sickert's assertion that art should depict urban realities. The group, which took its name from the area of North London where most lived, held two exhibitions in 1911 and 1912, but by 1913 they had evolved into the London Group.
