This large selection of Sargent’s watercolors is an autobiography in paint and demonstrates Sargent’s varied talents and the steady and subtle development of them. The subjects are varied and trace many of the artist’s journeys abroad. <\/p>\n

Sargent is best known for his masterful portraits in oil, but the less formal watercolors have a leisurely and sometimes playful quality that the oil portraits lack. While the oil portraits articulately and subtly tell the stories of others, the more intimate watercolors tell Sargent’s own story more vividly. <\/p>\n

From the vast range of paintings in this exhibition, one gets to see not only what Sargent saw in his various comings and goings, but how his way of seeing developed over time.<\/p>\n
