Kurzbeschreibung
Throughout his career - and particularly in the period from 1898 to 1913 - John Singer Sargent painted the spectacular architecture and scenes of everyday life in Venice, as he sat alongside the Grand Canal or in a gondola in the sleepy side canals. This lavishly illustrated book presents all the luminous masterworks that Sargent completed during that fertile fifteen-year period: oils and watercolours that reveal his taste for the Renaissance, Baroque, and high style in art and architecture as they were seen in the city's unique light.The book reproduces and documents 141 works, including several that are published for the first time. An authoritative essay explores the aesthetics of Sargent's Venetian work, places it in the context of his oeuvre as a whole, explains Sargent's relationships with his patrons in Venice, and discusses the exhibitions and marketing of this work in London and New York. The book also provides a map of Venice marking every known location that Sargent painted and displays dozens of contemporary colour photographs of the sites.

A Fabulous Book, One of the Best for Sargent Watercolors
17. April 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Delightful from cover to cover, this is one book not to miss, especially if you love watercolors. While not referencing watercolors in the title, a majority of the paintings are indeed watercolors of Venice.
I've often wondered if Sargent really painted only one version of Santa Maria della Salute, as only one watercolor of the subject ever seems to find it's way into books. This volume resoundingly answers that question with at least 3 oils and 10 watercolors of Santa Maria della Salute, viewed from different angles. There are numerous suites of watercolors of the same subject revealed throughout this book.
It's both instructive and satisfying to view many previously unpublished watercolor masterpieces. Moreover, one simply feels tremendously energized to see how Sargent, endowed and gifted with so much talent, still worked diligently- perhaps almost every waking moment- to accomplish the great legacy of work that he left behind.
Thank you, Mr. Ormond and Ms. Kilmurray for painstakingly providing such a wonderful volume.

Those amazing watercolors
13. Juli 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Still three more volumes to go...
This volume of Singer-Sargents complete paintings presents his wonderful venetian watercolor-paintings (and most of his oil-paintings of Venice) , and like all the other volumes in this series (eight volumes are planned, as far as I know) it gets my highest possible recommendation.
The accompanying text is astonishingly well researched and the reproduction of the images leaves nothing to complain about.
If you are seriously interested in collecting Singer-Sargent, then you don't need to look no further than this wonderful series of books, edited and written by Richard Ormond & Elaine Kilmurray.
Can we now get Volume V and the rest, please...?
