Title: dumb with a little bit of color
Review: most of the reviews nail the stupidity of this tome... its frustrating how something that has garnered so much attention could be so poorly constructed... for me the main point is this: contemporary artists are very very frequently fascinated by grim current events... certainly no less in victorian times and Sickerts being interested in the murders and naming some of his work after what was a huge media event at the time is a pretty feeble reason for naming him as the killerthere is a little bit of color here but on the whole this is an exploitative travesty... also Sickert was a truly great painter... anyone who looks at a bunch of his work should see how ridiculous these claims are... are there any actual serial killers on record who went on to have major careers in the arts? or vice versa? this is a silly hollywood conception
Is the review positive or negative?
