Summary: Inspiring and Challenging reproductions by a Master of light
Comment: Sargent's inspirations were Velasquez, Hals, Rubens. These were painters who understood the play of light. And they had a worthy apprentice in JSS.He understands that it is light that is the unifier of all his paintings, regardless of theme. JSS painted in watercolour for his own pleasure. (His mother taught him the medium at an early age). His brilliant mastery of both technique, light and sumptious colour are all captured in the reproductions in this book. Like others who have reviewed the book I return to it again and again. Happy pictures by a Mozart of the medium. How could you not buy it?

Summary: An all-time Favorite
Comment: I turn to this book time and again and am always astounded at the paintings. In his watercolor work, Sargent was a "Painter's Painter" - an artist who worked with paint so playfully, with color so passionatly, with caligraphic brushwork so seemingly irreverent - that the final effect is breathtaking and as fresh as the moment it was painted.

Summary: Beautiful and informative
Comment: I agree that some reproductions are rather small but it is a beautiful and interesting book that makes a great Xmas present. I enjoyed following Sargent through his far away destinations !! I personally think he is underrated when compared to Winslow Homer !
