In that unsettling way of seeing lies his modernity."<ref name="Jones2021">{{cite news |last1=Jones |first1=Jonathan |author-link=Jonathan Jones (journalist) |title=Sickert: A Life in Art review – master of malevolence goes for the jugular |url=https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/sep/14/sickert-a-life-in-art-review-master-of-malevolence-goes-for-the-jugular |access-date=25 November 2021 |work=The Guardian |date=14 September 2021}}</ref>

From 28 April to 18 September 2022, [[Tate Britain]] staged the first major Sickert retrospective at [[Tate]] in over 60 years, featuring over 150 of his works from over 70 public and private collections, and claiming to be the most extensive retrospective in almost 30 years. The exhibition was organised in collaboration with the [[Petit Palais]], [[Paris]], where it is expected to be displayed between late 2022 and 2023.<ref>{{cite web |title=Walter Sickert – Press Release |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/press/press-releases/walter-sickert-0 |website=Tate Britain |publisher=Tate |access-date=26 April 2022}}</ref> Jonathan Jones observed, "This hellishly brilliant exhibition takes you to a place beyond simple moral or political truth. Whatever Sickert was, he was the only British artist of his time who can be as powerful as Munch, Van Gogh or Otto Dix."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Jones |first1=Jonathan |title=Walter Sickert review – serial killer, fantasist or self-hater?
