DESCRIPTION:
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, or wet-in-wet. There's even a chapter, called "Bringing Back Something Fine" that talks about Sargent's techniques, with photos of the paintings taken with a raki. "Sargent's Fantastic Watercolors" according to Kenneth Hughes.

I had the privilege of seeing this exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, and immediately comparing the book's reproductions to the actual watercolors this is easily the best i have seen. nothing of course, compares to the original but this is pretty darn close. Also, painters will enjoy the extensive chapter on Sargent technique, including material and technique analysis using modern technologies such as infa red.
Enhanced by biographical and technical essays, and lavishly illustrated with 175 color reproductions, this publication introduces readers to the full sweep of Sargent’s accomplishments in this medium, in works that delight the eye as well as challenge our understanding of this prodigiously gifted artist.The international art star of the Gilded Age, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) was born in Italy to American parents, trained in Paris and worked on both sides of the Atlantic. 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. John Singer Sargent’s approach to watercolor was unconventional. The contents of the first, in 1909, were purchased in their entirety by the Brooklyn Museum of Art. His dynamic and boldly conceived watercolors, created during travels to Tuscan gardens
Experimenting with unusual compositions and new techniques, he reinvented himself aesthetically far from stagnating Sargent was innovating in his watercolors. (Judith Dobrzynski The New York Times)
