DESCRIPTION:
Richard Ormond is an independent art historian.
(Judith Dobrzynski The New York Times) . Experimenting with unusual compositions and new techniques, he reinvented himself aesthetically far from stagnating Sargent was innovating in his watercolors
The contents of the first, in 1909, were purchased in their entirety by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. The paintings exhibited in the other, in 1912, were scooped up by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. In watercolor, his vision became more personal and his works more interconnected, as he considered the way one image--often of a friend or favorite place--enhanced another. Sargent held only two major watercolor exhibitions in the United States during his lifetime. Going beyond turn-of-the-century standards for carefully delineated and composed landscapes filled with transparent washes, his confidently bold, dense strokes and loosely defined forms startled critics and fellow practitioners alike. His dynamic and boldly conceived watercolors, created during travels to Tuscan gardens, Alpine retreats, Venetian canals and Bedouin encampments, record unusual motifs that caught his incisive eye.. For Sargent, however, the watercolors were not so much about swagger as about a renewed and liberated approach to painting. John Singer Sargent Watercolors reunites nearly 100 works from these collections for the first time, arranging them by them
A must-have for students of Sargent S. Benedict This book on Sargent Watercolors is wonderful. Lots of nicely reproduced images that fill the page. The paintings are grouped by subject: Venice, Bedouins, gardens, mountains, quarries, etc. It has some photos of Sargent at work, and photos of his models. Even better: the book includes many close-ups of the paintings, so you can see how he painted them. You can see how Sargent layered the paint, how he used a wax resist.
