John Singer Sargent

Mostly known for his elegant, high-society portraiture, Sargent's lesser-known works are also shown and discussed in this exquisite and detailed exploration of his life and work. Portraits of friends, fellow artists, and notables include Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, Theodore Roosevelt and Claude Monet -- accomplished with meticulous attention to detail. The large format reproductions presented here exhibit the astounding mastery of form and color used by this American artistic genius.
