Kurzbeschreibung
Volume Five of the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonne encompasses a remarkably productive sixteen-year span when Sargent's creative energies were expressed in new and exciting aesthetic ventures. The young artist moved from Paris to London and successfully ignited his career as a portrait painter. His first years in England included a pastoral interlude during which he experimented with Impressionist techniques, painting en plein air and producing vibrant landscape, figure, and flower studies. Sargent's lush and seductive outdoor scenes and his concern with the depiction of light - most fully realized in his exquisite "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose" - are chronicled in this volume. Of special significance is the account of Sargent's relationship with Claude Monet, the French Impressionist painter. This includes letters from Sargent to Monet, most published for the first time. In 1890, Sargent began work on a commission to execute a mural cycle for the Boston Public Library. This prompted him to travel to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Spain, North Africa, and Italy in search of inspiration. The works he painted are a testament to his intellectual preoccupations, and underline his versatility and artistic reach. Following its predecessors in this series, this beautiful book illustrates nearly all of the paintings in colour. Each work is documented, with provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography, and accompanied by relevant studies and drawings.

exciting discoveries of lesser known Sargent paintings
4. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
John Singer Sargent is primarily renowned for his protrait paintings. While these works-often featuring wealthy and self satisfied looking subjects-are worth investigating, I found many of the paintings featured in this volume more enjoyable to view. The works, painted between 1883-1899, frequently demonstrate the influence of the impressionist school. They are colorful, vibrant and easy on the eye. Although they have an individual voice, they are sometimes reminiscent of Monet's creations. Valuably, this volume documents the correspondence between Monet and Sargent.
Additional to the impressionist style paintings, there are a number of oil and watercolors executed during Sargent's travels to places such as Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Scotland and Spain. There are also copies after artists like Titian, El Greco Tiepolo etc.
This volume continues the high standards of documentation and research encountered in previous volumes of this series. The printing standard and quality of color reproduction are well above average. Warmly recommended.

John Singer Sargent: Figures and landscapes, 1883-1899
26. Dezember 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is an excellent addition to my collection of artbooks especially John Singer Sargent. This book does provide more reading than expected and so more time needs to be spent reading rather than looking at reproductions of Sargent masterpieces. For the historian it is great, for the coffee table, it would be less desirable. Richard Ormond is without doubt, the leading expert on Sargent and so any books he does in the future will continue to be a must buy for me.

Picture and Text: Both Outstanding!
22. August 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Initially, I purchased this book for the pictures. It offers a comprehensive compilation of his work during the time period specified. It also shows, pictorially, the influence, similarities and differences, between his work and the French Impressionists.
What I did not expect - and have come to value - was the extensive text. Prepared by THE expert(s) on Sargent, it makes the book all that more valuable and useful.
This is not just a pretty book for your coffee table. This is solid scholarship.
