John Singer Sargent / Carter Ratcliff 

Public ISBD Titre : John Singer Sargent Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Carter Ratcliff (1941-....) ; John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) Mention d'édition : New edition. Editeur : New York : Abbeville Press Année de publication : 2023 Importance : 1 vol. (271 p.) Présentation : ill. en coul., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 39 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7892-1440-9 Note générale : Previous edition: 1982. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Peintres -- États-Unis -- 20e siècle Peintres -- Etats-Unis -- 21e siècle Sargent, John Singer (1856-1925) Index. décimale : 75(092) Peintres Résumé : In the early work of John Singer Sargent (1856-1925), Henry James saw "the slightly 'uncanny' spectacle of a talent which on the threshold of its career has nothing more to learn." Sargent's talent, nay, genius was indeed uncanny, sustained with equal intensity through his famed society portraits, like the scandalous Madame X; his full-size showpieces, like The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit; his thousands of watercolours executed en plein air from Venice to Corfu to Maine to Montana; and his ambitious mural decorations for the public monuments of Boston. In Carter Ratcliff, Sargent has found a biographer and critic nearly his match in style and subtlety. Ratcliff expertly evokes the expatriate American milieu into which the artist was born, and offers penetrating insights into every phase of his career, every aspect of his work. Now, for the first time, this landmark monograph is offered in a special oversize format, with all of its 310 illustrations reproduced in stunning full colour, many at full-page size, allowing the reader to appreciate the master's every brushstroke.
