I just think that John Singer Sargent’s watercolors

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.

A century ago being gay could lead to imprisonment & hard labour so Sargent’s work in revealing a hidden gay world is revolutionary. Nicola Reading (c1904-7) is an image of his lover & Bather, Florida (1917) was painted on an estate there owned by a gay couple.

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

this is The Judgement. a very beautiful painting, but sargent’s draftsmanship is so masterful i almost prefer the sketches.

One last Venice financial history walk: I got side tracked in this alley on the trail of John Singer Sargent’s painting of the Calle della Rosa with the Monte di Pietà (Lending bank) , Venice, c. 1904.

These four depictions of Venice over a century ago vividly illustrate the different styles of the artists ~ Édouard Manet’s realism / Claude Monet’s more dreamlike visions / JMW Turner’s visionary atmospherics / and JS Sargent’s immediacy

I love the surrounding art. ‘scandalous’ portrait of Mme. Gautreau, he had to change the strap & the name to Mme X. Did Ripper painting mean he was the serial killer? One of my favs continues to defy interpretation, La Tempesta

Wanted to have another go at applying John Singer Sargent’s style with the mari lwyd today. Because it relies a lot on colour to show the detail rather than lines so its very interesting to use.

My first master study ✨
Trying my hand at John Singer Sargent’s ‘Head of a Capri Girl’ to improve my colours and head drawing/painting.

On seeing Robert Hughes discuss John Singer Sargent’s portrait, Madame X, I realised that those were the kind of paintings I wanted to make. To this day my obsession with the single figure portrait of a woman/femme has held fast and I can’t see it stopping any time soon." [2/2]

Depictions of Venice that demonstrate the different styles of three painters from about the same era ~ Manet’s realism, Monet’s more dreamlike visions and Sargent’s immediacy
