NGA - Whistler, Sargent, and Tanner: Americans Abroad in the Late 1800s
John Singer Sargent, hailed on both sides of the Atlantic as a society portraitist, was educated in Florence, Rome, and Nice by his wealthy parents. His avant-garde style, founded on the bravura brushwork of the seventeenth-century old masters Frans Hals and Diego Velázquez, gained popular acclaim. Making a sensational debut in Paris in his early twenties, Sargent became famous for his rapid execution of oils and watercolors.

John Singer Sargent and Drawing 

?He did every type of drawing, did them individually as works of art and as preparatory drawings for paintings,? says Eric Denker, a senior lecturer at the National Gallery of Art and a curator of drawings and prints for the Corcoran Gallery of Art, both in Washington, DC. ?I think, for him, drawing was the basis of everything.?
