John Singer Sargent was an American painter by birth-right. He loved his country yet he spent most of his life in Europe. He was the most celebrated portraitist of his time but left it at the very height of his fame to devote full time to landscape painting, water colors and public art. - Sargent Photos Index - JSS Gallery

- John Singer Sargent, the son of an American doctor, was born in Florence in 1856. He studied painting in Italy and France and in 1884 caused a sensation at the Paris Salon with his painting of Madame Gautreau. Exhibited as Madame X, people complained that the painting was provocative. The scandal persuaded Sargent to move to England and over the next few years established himself as the country's leading portrait painter.

BOOK: New book about The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit
Published by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 2009
Publisher's description: One of the most celebrated painters of his day, John Singer Sargent defines for many the style, optimism and opulence of turn-of-the-century America. Among his renowned portraits, "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" stands alongside "Madame X" and "Lady Agnew of Lochnaw" as one of Sargent's immortal images. This painting depicts four young sisters in the spacious foyer of the family's Paris apartment, strangely dispersed across the murky tones and depths of the square canvas, as though unrelated to one another, unsettled and unsettling to the eye. "The Daughters" both affirms and defies convention, flouting the boundaries between portrait and genre scene, formal composition and quick sketch or snapshot. Unveiled at the Paris Salon of 1883, it predated by just two years the scandal of "Madame X" and was itself characterized by one critic as "four corners and a void"; but Henry James came closer to the mark when he described the painter as a "knock-down insolence of talent," for few of Sargent's works embody the epithet as well as "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit." Drawing on numerous unpublished archival documents, scholar Erica E. Hirshler excavates all facets of this iconic canvas, discussing not only its significance as a work of art but also the figures and events involved in its making, its importance for Sargent's career, its place in the tradition of artistic patronage and the myriad factors that have contributed to its lasting popularity and relevance. The result is an aesthetic, philosophical and personal tour de force that will change the way you look at Sargent's work, and that both illuminates an iconic painting and reaffirms its pungent magnetism.

- 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.
- Prado - Invited work: The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, Sargent
- Invited work: The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, Sargent
From 16 March to 30 May 2010
Sponsored by:
From March until May 2010, the Prado will offer visitors the privilege and probably a unique opportunity to see the painting The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, a masterpiece by John Singer Sargent, displayed alongside Las Meninas by Velázquez, its direct source of inspiration. This exceptional family portrait travels to Spain for the first time and represents an event of considerable importance since it has scarcely left the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, to which it was donated in 1919. This is the first time that the painting will be exhibited in a European city other than London, a city closely connected to Sargent who lived and worked there until the end of his life.
Sargent painted The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit in 1882, commissioned by Edward Darley Boit, an American collector and friend of the artist. Sargent admired the work of Velázquez, which he studied and knew well, producing various copies on the basis of a trip to Spain that he made in 1879. In the present portrait, which is one of his masterpieces, Sargent reveals the influence of Velázquez in the treatment of the light and atmosphere, which are the starting points for a work of mysterious naturalism and intense but restrained expressivity. - Museum of Fine Arts, Houston - Sargent and the Sea Part of "An American Season"
- Sargent and the Sea
Part of "An American Season"
On view through May 23, 2010 at the Audrey Jones Beck Building
American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) is best known for his glamorous society portraits, and much of his art has been well documented in exhibitions and publications. Sargent and the Sea is the first to examine the little-explored maritime paintings and drawings that Sargent produced in various locales during the first five years of his career.
Comprised of an intimate selection of 36 oil paintings, 23 drawings and watercolors, and one scrapbook-all drawn from a wide range of public and private collections in the U.S. and Europe-the exhibition centers on Sargent´s two well-known pictures from this period-Setting Out to Fish and Fishing for Oysters at Cancale-and several related studies. - JSS Gallery: John Singer Sargent Whitney Museum, NY & The Art Institute of Chicago 1986-1987

This was one of the most historically significant exhibitions since Sargent's death. Not since his Memorial Exhibition in 1925 (sixty-one years previous) had such an ambitious and balanced look at this artist (which in all honesty had fallen so far out of favor) ever been undertaken to that date. - John Singer Sargent Beyond the Portrait Studio: Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors from the Collection | Past Exhibitions | The Metropolitan Museum of Art
- June 6, 2000-September 24, 2000
About 110 paintings, drawings, and watercolors selected from the Museum's extensive holdings illuminate episodes in Sargent's career as he studied and sought inspiration outside the confines of the portrait studio. These works reflect his travels to Spain, Morocco, and other destinations in North Africa and the Near East; his enduring fascination with Venice; his summer holidays in the Italian lake district and the Alps; his tours of North America, including Florida and the Rocky Mountains; and his travels to the western front during World War I as an official war artist. - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - IMAGES from John Singer Sargent Beyond the Portrait Studio: Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors from the Collection

- The Fenimore Art Museum is proud to present the first museum exhibition devoted exclusively to portraits of women by American artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). "John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Praise of Women breaks new ground in several ways," commented Dr. Paul S. D'Ambrosio, Vice President and Chief Curator and exhibition organizer. "It is the first exhibition to directly compare the varied attributes of the women Sargent portrayed and the visual strategies employed by the artist to communicate those characteristics
- Brooklyn Museum: Great Expectations: John Singer Sargent Painting Children
- October 8, 2004-January 16, 2005
Great Expectations: John Singer Sargent Painting Children investigates how Sargent represented children in portraits and genre paintings. The purpose of the exhibition, however, is to address how Sargent's paintings satisfied or contradicted expectations about childhood that existed at the end of the nineteenth century. This process interweaves three fundamentally separate histories: those of childhood (in sociocultural terms), the iconography of childhood in Western art, and Sargent's own career. - Sargent and the Sea - Exhibitions - Royal Academy of Arts 10 July-26 September 2010 (Sackler Wing of Galleries)
- American expatriate artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) is best known for his glamorous society portraits. Now, for the first time in Britain, 'Sargent and the Sea' will present more than 80 paintings, drawings and watercolours that reveal a less familiar side of the artist: the seascapes and coastal scenes subjects produced in his early career during summer journeys from Paris to Brittany, Normandy and Capri, as well as two transatlantic voyages.

John Singer Sargent - Exhibition Reviews
- The Pragmatic Romanticist - review of A John Singer Sargent Retrospective / The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston - August 1999
- This Italian born American painter has long been dismissed as being merely a shallow flattering portraitist of the gilded Edwardian elite. Art histories tend to ignore Sargent completely or mention him merely as a footnote. This utterly glorious retrospective of Sargents major works should go a long way towards dispelling that totally wrong notion.
- Sargent and the Sea is down at the shallow end | Art - by Brian Sewell
- As a painter he was perceived to be a braggart follower of Gainsborough, Velázquez and Van Dyck, his deft handling of paint too slick and slippery to command the respect of such a determined old dabber as Sickert or any of his school of followers. But now rehabilitation is complete and we see Sargent as an exultant master of characterisation and empathy, of colour and light, of shadow and the contre-jour effect (the subject seen against the light), and of the fat substantial paint to which the word painterly properly belongs.
- Making a Mark: Sargent and the Beach
- Sargent and the Sea is the title of the exhibition which opens in the Sackler Galleries of the Royal Aacdemy of Arts on Saturday 10th July. However I'm more inclined to remember it as Sargent and the Beach since it struck me that the much more successful paintings in the exhibition were figurative paintings of adults and children on the beach and foreshore.

NEW BOOK (2010): John Singer Sargent: Figures and Landscapes, 1883-1899: The Complete Paintings Volume 5
(Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art)
Product Description: The fifth volume of the John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonné encompasses a remarkably productive span in the beloved American painter's life. The young artist moved from Paris to London during this period and successfully ignited his career as a portraitist, and this time also marked his experimentation with Impressionist techniques. These pages contain the first detailed account of Sargent's relationship with Claude Monet, including letters-most published for the first time here-from the artist to the great Impressionist. This exquisitely illustrated volume also covers the period when Sargent journeyed to Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Spain, North Africa, and Italy in search of inspiration for a mural cycle commissioned by the Boston Public Library. The works he painted as source material included here stand in stark contrast to the sensuous, painterly exercises of the early and mid-1880s, underlining his versatility and artistic reach.
As in the previous volumes in this series, the images in this book are reproduced in full color and documented in depth, with complete provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography, and are accompanied by relevant studies and related drawings.

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."

Sargent and the Sea - Exhibition Catalogue
the latest exhibition of Singer Sargent artworks
Sargent and the Sea
Amazon Price: $31.97 (as of 02/15/2012)
As a young man the American painter John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was passionate about the sea and deeply knowledgeable about ships and seafaring. Between the ages of 18 and 23 he started his career as a professional painter with a remarkable range of maritime works that form the subject of this exhibition and book. The key works are the two versions of the Oyster Gatherers of Cancale, painted in 1878 on the northern coast of Brittany in France, and the group of studies and sketches around them.
The authors relate Sargent's freely handled marine drawings, large and small, to his watercolors, oil sketches, and finished oil paintings of marine subjects. The works demonstrate his transition from a plein-air painter to a tonalist exploring interiors and urban scenes. Also presented is a unique scrapbook, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, that includes more than 50 drawings and sketches, mostly of sea scenes, and postcards and commercial photography of works of art, architecture, and tourist views. This scrapbook provides an intimate glimpse at the thoughts and experiences of the young artist on his first European voyage.
