Description

John Singer Sargent's approach to watercolor was unconventional. His confidently bold, dense strokes and loosely defined forms startled critics and fellow practitioners alike. Enhanced by biographical and technical essays, and lavishly illustrated with 175 color reproductions, this publication introduces readers to the full sweep of Sargent's accomplishments in this medium.
