Thomas McKellar (c1916-24) & Model (nd). The latter three drawings are of d’Inverno (c1904) & show Sargent’s superbly sensuous & powerful nudes. Each work would have taken a couple of hours & were done in a period of great artistic virility.

As a war artist his approach was unprecedented. His depiction of an Arcadian setting with nude young men is in stark contrast to the fact they would soon be likely to be hideously maimed or killed. Thou Shalt Not Steal (1918), Tommies Bathing (1918) & Tommies Bathing (1918)

Sleep & Bathers were his excuse for depicting the male form outside the studio. Highlanders Resting at the Front (1918), The Bathers (1917), Man & Pool (1917) & Nude Man Lying on Bed (1917). The latter is an astonishingly modern work.

Here is one of Sargent’s paintings of Gondoliers (about whom he was besotted). Also shown is his fascination with sleepers. Gondolier (1905), Siesta (1905) & Peter Harrison Asleep (c1905)

Sargent was one of the finest watercolourists in history & he used that genius to depict flesh & mood in a manner that has rarely been surpassed. Man with Red Drapery (c1904), Study of a Male Nude Figure (1904) & Studies of a Male Nude Reclining (c1904)
