The Ninth of November 1888

[Joshua Rogan]

Logsdail seems to have though that Walter Stickert was a bit of a nutter.

In the book "William Logsdail of Lincoln (1859-1944)" published by Usher Art Gallery, it mentions some of Logsdail's memoirs (which I believe have never been published in their entirety).

Apparently Logsdail was in Venice, when Stickert turned up and began to paint, dancing around his canvas, making a great energetic show of painting. An American man watched him for a while, then picked up a button that was laying on the pavement and said "Excuse me, Sir, I think this has worked itself loose."

Great story, Azarna! Doubtless Sickert was a character, but I know whose paintings I'd rather have on my wall.

Thanks Monty!
One day I'll get round to buying your book and won't have to ask.
