many obscure paintings March 27, 2007
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
i was very pleasantly surprised to see so many Sargent paintigs and drawings i had never seen before. Some quite obscure images in color - many studies and sketches - things that interest other artists and Sargent fans - I have not read much of the content yet but the little I have read was very interesting, although not of great use to artists in that there is not much description of Sargents working methods (although there was some) - but this is usually the case with monographs - much history but not much instruction. So as artists we must learn mainly from the paintings - which fortunately are very well reproduced in this volume.
 another wonderful Sargent book March 26, 2007

This volume like the portrait volumes has beautiful illustrations ( fairly important for someone like Sargent!) and comparisons to others working in his time and place.
it's something you can look at and reread-- and it can be done in sections-- time and again

for three years since the last published book on John Singer Sargent. I keep finding new things about the artist whose parents were expatriates who wanted to take in everything cultural that is Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. I can't wait to look at the never-before seen paintings from Italy, Capri, the Middle East, Spain, France, and North Africa. It contains more information and pictures of several key models, Rosina Ferrara, Giglia Viani, the anonymous Venetian, Spanish, French, and Middle Eastern models. The book also goes in depth Sargent's travels and association with various artists of his time as well as details on places and peoples at various locales.
This book coincides with the 150th anniversary of his birth(he was born in Florence, Italy in 1856). I want to say thanks to the authors for contributing so much on the most prolific and versatile man JSS.
I recommend this book to art lovers and JSS fans everywhere. Please take a look at this loaded and interesting book. You'll be amazed.
