When Whistler left the Royal Society of British Artists in 1888, after a disagreement about the organization's future, he took several of his associates, including Starr, Walter Sickert, Philip Steer and Theodore Roussel. Starr then joined Sickert's New English Art Club, and began painting in a more Impressionistic style. In 1889, he participated in an exhibition at the Goupil Gallery in Paris, which introduced English-style Impressionism to the French. Later that year, he won a bronze medal at the Exposition Universelle for his depiction of Paddington Station. His most famous work is "The City Atlas", which can be found in most works on English Impressionism.
