Though #Sargent was a bit of an anathema to Modernist artists and critics, there still may be unexplored traces of his legacy in the movement. David #Bomberg, for example, was Sargent's assistant at the same time he was producing #Futurist works like 1913's Ju Jitsu. @Tate

Contrary to popular belief, when Sargent began work with in 1907, it was not bc he hated portraits - rather he was bored! Quick portraits enabled him time to travel the world & pursue new forms of art, like the watercolour, and this new sense of leisure dominated his later career

Despite the dark nature of its subject matter, #Sargent's #WWI watercolours looked to embrace a kind of visual optimism. Sunlight on dappled trees, dozing soldiers, refractions of light on twisted metal all convey a strange tinge of beauty amidst destruction.

The little discussed Catalan painter Mariano Fortuny was considered an early influence on Manet's Franco-Spanish style. Early in his career, #Sargent was often compared to him, particularly 'Dans l'Oliviers' & 'El Jaleo', the former called a 'joyous effect of the Fortuny school'.
