 Room 6Sickert and the Paris Art WorldThe 1900sThis room and the following two rooms bring the exhibition to a close by focusing on the work of Sickert and his contemporaries during the 1900s. 
Edgar Degas 1834-1917
Bed-Time around 1880-5 Pastel and gouache over a monotype print on paper Tate, London This is one of a group of pastels by Degas which re-invent the titillating subject matter associated with the eighteenth-century ‘Rococo’ style. Each focuses on a nude woman getting into bed. Originally, such delicate, sensual images suggested the decadence of courtly life. In Degas’s hands, they are made much more ‘modern’ in their appearance.
