John Singer Sargent

Sargent Abroad
With impressive new scholarship and many previously unpublished, color-drenched images, this gloriously beautiful book reveals a new aspect of John Singer Sargent's remarkable career. Although best known for his dazzling society portraits, Sargent's landscape oil paintings and watercolors of his travels constituted a far more important aspect of his work than previously realized--collected here in an invaluable chronology, along with letters, diaries, and photos. 250 illustrations, 200 in color.
Sargent
Many of the sitters in this collection were John Singer Sargents close friends. They are posed informally, sometimes in the act of painting or singing, and it is evident from the bold way they confront us that they are personalities of a creative stamp.

An American Painter in Venice
A biography of the American painter Ralph W. Curtis (1854-1922), of the Boston family who bought the Palazzo Barbaro on the Grand Canal in Venice in 1885. After graduating at Harvard, Curtis moved to Paris to study art with Carolus Duran, where he met his distant cousin John S. Sargent, with whom he travelled to Holland to see Franz Hals’s paintings. He exhibited at the Paris salons, at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, at the Venice Biennale in the 1880s. At Palazzo Barbaro he met Robert Browning, Henry James, but also Venetian painters such as Ettore Tito and Antonio Mancini. He travelled widely, even to Japan and India. His works are in American Museums and private collections.
