Hardcover. An ideal introduction to the work of John Singer Sargent: The Masterworks features 100 of the American artist's most beloved paintings. Drawn from all aspects of his diverse oeuvre portraits, landscapes, mural commissions in oil and watercolour, the selection reflects a holistic approach to Sargent's work to consider how different efforts across genres and media informed each other. This lush general survey draws on both private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art's infamous Madame X. New scholarship provides both an essential overview and a more subtle understanding of the American painter. Technically brilliant as a portraitist, Sargent remained indebted to both the old masters he studied and his modern contemporaries. His eclectic and international circle influenced his art and encouraged him to push the boundaries of genre, most strikingly in Sargent's friendship with Monet and consequent exposure to Impressionism. Sargent's cosmopolitan upbringing and education enabled a roving mind and made him perfectly suited to capture the upwardly mobile bourgeoisie and aristocrats of his era. His sensual portraits capture his sitters with startling vibrancy, as though they have just stepped away from the viewer's world. Given his tremendous success it is all the more surprising that Sargent turned to plein air painting after 1900, though as scholar Stephanie L. Herdich reveals, it is here that the painter unveils his personality, in series containing his most brilliant and personal images. Sargent was considered one of the greatest portraitists and watercolorists of his era and remains a vital voice today. A lush new volume devoted to the best works by beloved American Impressionist and portraitist John Singer Sargent, whose dazzling use of light and colour depicts modern subjects with arresting intimacy.

A lush new volume devoted to the best works by beloved American Impressionist and portraitist John Singer Sargent, whose dazzling use of light and color depicts modern subjects with arresting intimacy.
An ideal introduction to the painter’s work, Sargent: The Masterworks features 100 of his most beloved paintings. Illustrating all aspects of his diverse oeuvre—portraits, landscapes, mural commissions—in oil and watercolor, this handsome new book includes works from both private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s infamous Madame X.
Author Stephanie L. Herdrich draws on a wealth of new research to provide both an essential overview and a more nuanced understanding of the great American painter. Richly illustrated, the book’s three chapters cover the artist’s career from his childhood and early years in Paris, to his mid-career portraits made in England and United States, and his later years painting out of doors. An illustrated chronology contains fascinating details and archival imagery about the artist’s life. Sargent’s cosmopolitan upbringing and education made him perfectly suited to capture the upwardly mobile bourgeoisie and aristocrats of his era, creating sensual portraits that depict his sitters with startling vibrancy. Though he achieved tremendous success in portraiture, Sargent focused on painting outdoors after 1900, achieving the most brilliant and personal images of his career. One of the greatest portraitists and watercolorists of his time, Sargent remains one of the most well-known and well-loved of all American artists.
