Product Details


Product Description

Product Description

This is the second volume of the catalogue raisonne of the work of the American painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). It comprises over 150 formal portraits and portrait sketches in oil and watercolour that he painted between 1889 and 1900. The catalogued works have been grouped into chronological sections, each with its own introduction to set the particular group in context. In addition, an overall introduction places Sargent in the context of European portraiture of the past and of his own time. Each work is documented in depth: entries include traditional data about the painting or watercolour; details of the work's provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography; a short biography of the sitter; a discussion of the circumstances in which the work was created; and a critical discussion of its subject matter, style, and significance in Sargent's career. With very few exceptions, all the works are reproduced in colour. There is also an illustrated inventory of Sargent's studio props and accessories and a cross-referenced checklist of the portraits in which they appear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fabulous, Jan 31 2003
By 
This review is from: John Singer Sargent: Portraits of the 1890s; Complete Paintings: Volume II (Hardcover)
The best Sargent book yet. Volume I was good but volume II is even better. This volume covers the 1890's when the artist really got into his stride as a portrait painter and the paintings are magnificent.

The book is well set out with at least one illustration to a page often with portrait sketchs and background information if available. The quality of the reproductions is very good (as in volume I) and the information clear and well structured.

A must buy for Sargent fans (even if like me you thought you didn't need volume II because you already had volume I). The authors have done a great job.

4.0 out of 5 stars a little disappointed, Mar 16 2010
By 
This review is from: John Singer Sargent: Portraits of the 1890s; Complete Paintings: Volume II (Hardcover)

Would definitely recommend this book and am
very happy that I bought it.

My only criticism, is that I wish the publisher
had gone with a thicker volume as many of the
illustrations are very small.

This review is from: John Singer Sargent: Portraits of the 1890s; Complete Paintings: Volume II (Hardcover)
Fantastic book, a must-have. The color reproduction is superb, the scholarship is facinating, it is as close to perfect as one could get.
