John Singer Sargent Watercolors

I've always been a fan of Sargent's, and for those of you out there who share my predilection, this book is a must. The fluidity and sparkle of his work are among its most attractive qualities, and these are on prominent display in his watercolours. The book is the accompanying volume of an exhibition of his watercolours based on the collections in the Brooklyn and MFA Boston's collections, and they certainly have superb examples of his work in this medium. Beautifully reproduced, the paintings create an atmosphere of sumptuous richness, covering virtually every period of Sargent's work. It's interesting, too, to see his use of the medium growing and changing over time. A tremendous pleasure, and excellent value.

Sargents watercolours are unfathomably good and it's a pleasure to look at these large reproductions. Highly recommended for any watercolour fan.

This is a lovely book, really nice think paper and fab colours. Well done in producing it, it’s a wonderful resource. There are a number of close-ups, so you easily see the (very few) brushstrokes - I love it.

Wonderful work from Singer Sargent. A beautiful book.

Good reproductions and an informative and interesting art book.

Excellent reproduction with some close-up details.

Interesting book with many photographs. I'm slightly concerned that the 'experts' who wrote it seem to have a poor understanding of watercolour painting technique, but that only affects the chapter on Sargent's methods. There's no real discussion of how Sargent relates to modern watercolours either (it is quite clear that his approach is quite different).

Large book with good reproductions of watercolours.

Beautiful paintings inside and lots to learn from John Sargent's style

Las imágenes son excelentes. Está hermoso.

Très belles reproduction des aquarelles. Un livre magnifique !

good selection of images, a few images details of the same painting. last part of book techniques sargent used.

Beautiful book with great reproductions. Since I cannot see the exhibition in NYC this must be the next best thing. I guess the colors are not always perfectly printed but I know that it is very difficult to get close to the originals. I like the format and size of the reproductions, they are big. The only thing I regret is that the sizes of the originals are not printed under the reproduction but are in a list in the back of the book. Since I like to now the actual size of each watercolor while I'm looking at it, I find it ennoying to go check on another page all the time. I have a lot fo books by Sargent and read a lot about him. So I didn't read the text of this one yet.
