These too are images of soldiers on the way to the front. They are both sensual depiction but also lyrical poems to the innocence of youth. An innocence that would be impossible after the Great War. An unprecedented vision of sexuality that was impossible outside of war
A fascinating body of work within his oeuvre are his studies of sleepers. Here we have people at their most vulnerable, clearly trusting the painter & comfortably asleep. One wonders what was Sargent’s fascination due to? I think it’s about vulnerability & revelation
It’s often forgotten that Sargent was a master of Impressionism - & indeed for many years art historians thought of him as a society portrait painter only. These three paintings (the first is of Monet painting) demonstrate his place amongst this group devoted to colour & light
Watteau continued to draw throughout his life. Here are three studies of three women (1716-17), The Remedy (1716-17) & Three Studies of a Lady (1715). Such careful drawings would reappear as figures in different works. Such ability is almost extinct today
Another major work by Watteau is his Festival of Love (1717) which is typical of his many canvases of elegant people in a timeless garden. The Toilette, of the same period, also represents a theme he regularly returned to - the female nude
One of his final works is Right & Left. The painting catches the moment of death for two shot ducks. A variety of interpretations of the work are known but whichever is chosen the work is profound. Right & Left (1909), Kissing the Moon (1904) & Coral Formation (1901)
His first painting to enter a major museum was The Fox Hunt (1893). Woods at Prout’s Neck (1887), Jumping Trout (1889), Red Canoe (1889) & Summer Night (1890).
