John Singer Sargent: Watercolors

Sargent’s approach to watercolour was unconventional. Going beyond turn-of-the-century standards for carefully delineated and composed landscapes filled with transparent washes, his confidently bold, dense strokes and loosely defined forms startled critics and fellow practitioners alike. This title reunites nearly 100 works from his two major watercolour exhibits for the first time, arranging them by themes and subjects: sunlight on stone, figures reclining on grass, patterns of light and shadow.
