"text": "The home and domesticity were the main subjects of \"kitchen sink\" painting, a short-lived style of realism active in London between 1952 and 1957. The four artists typically associated with this genre are Jack Smith, Edward Middleditch, Derrick Greaves, and John Bratby. […] In the histories of post-war British art, it remains widely unchallenged that these four men are the only \"kitchen sink\" artists. Their works from the 1950s are considered as central in discourses of post-war representations of the home and labour, with critics and historians often locating \"kitchen sink\" painting's legacy as a precursor to British pop art's focus on everyday domestic objects.",

"etymology_text": "The noun is derived from kitchen + sink. Sense 2.1 (“miscellaneous item or miscellany”) is probably from everything but the kitchen sink.\nThe adjective is derived from the noun. Sense 1 (“of or pertaining to a realist style of painting characterized by scenes of dull or untidy domestic interiors of urban working-class people”) was coined by the British art critic David Sylvester (1924–2001) in a December 1954 article entitled “The Kitchen Sink”: see the quotation.\nThe verb is a back-formation from kitchen-sinking (noun), which is derived from the noun.",
