John Singer Sargent
John Singer Sargent's reputation as one of America's greatest painters continues to grow. As major shows open in Seattle, Los Angeles, New York, and Denver in the coming months, now is the perfect time to bring back this critically praised biography. In this meticulous and witty work, Stanley Olson uncovers the complex nature of Sargent's life and stunning career. Famous for his prolific talent as a portraitist of the royal, the rich and the well-known, few understood how deeply dissatisfied Sargent became with his role as the recorder of Edwardian society. Tragically, the huge murals to which he passionately dedicated his last thirty years remain largely unnoticed. A friend to Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson. Isabella Stewart Gardner, and their circle, Sargent's extraordinary life is the portrait of an age and an artist.
