Publisher's Note John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) stands among the greatest of watercolor painters, along with J.M.W. Turner, Winslow Homer, and other masters of this difficult medium. Watercolor was more than a distraction from the portrait and mural commissions Sargent labored over; after 1900, watercolor became central to his artistic vision. His aquarelles are, simply stated, master-works. Portraits, interiors, landscapes, architectural studies -- Sargent's work in watercolor offers great variety of subject matter, ranging from Arab gypsies to World War I soldiers, to masterful depictions of Venetian churches, to Florida swamp alligators.
Industry Reviews "Little groups the selected paintings according to subject or geographical location, and provides a brief introductory text for each section. Scholars and art lovers will appreciate the good reference notes and the inclusion of many quotations by Sargent's contemporaries." Hodgson
