These magnificent books are the definitive catalogue raisonné of the works in oil, watercolor, and pastel of the beloved painter, John Singer Sargent. The Later Portraits, Volume III —
Comprising more than 200 portraits and portrait sketches in oil and watercolor painted between 1900 and John Singer Sargent’s death in 1925, this book completes the trilogy of portrait volumes in the series. The catalogued works have been grouped into two chronological sections, each with an introduction that sets the particular group in context. There is also a section of undated portraits and an appendix listing previously unrecorded works. Each work is documented in depth, with entries that include traditional data about the painting or watercolor; details of the work’s provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography; a short biography of the sitter; a discussion of the circumstances in which the work was created; and a critical discussion of its subject matter, style, and significance in Sargent’s career. Most of the works are reproduced in color. There is also an illustrated inventory of Sargent’s studio props and accessories and a cross-referenced checklist of the portraits in which they appear. Hardbound with a cloth cover. 364 pages. 10-1/8" × 12-1/4". |
