John Singer Sargent
Ratcliff, Carter
John Singer Sargent / Carter Ratcliff - New York : Abbeville Press , c1982 - 256 p. : illus. ; 35 cm
Sargent's enduring popularity has prompted a thoughtful reappraisal by prominent art critic Carter Ratcliff, who shows us the surprising breadth of the artist's work. Never before has a book so thoroughly represented that variety: 110 lavish color plates and more than 200 halftones convey the brilliance of his portraits, the exuberance of his watercolors, the stately pomp of his murals. It is perhaps the watercolors that are most exciting to contemporary eyes - bold, spontaneous, and vividly hued, they have a breathtaking immediacy.
