John Singer Sargent : figures and landscapes, 1908-1913. Volume VIII / Richard Ormond, Elaine Kilmurray ; with research assistance from the late Richard H. Finnegan. - 424 pages : color illustrations ; 33 cm.
"Published for The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art by Yale University Press, New Haven and London"--Title page.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 403-405) and index.
Majorca, 1908 --Corfu, 1909 --The Alps, 1908-1912 --Italy, 1910-1911 --Spain, 1912 --Lake Garda, 1913 --England and elsewhere, c. 1908-1913.
After John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) determined to curtail his internationally successful portrait practice, he had more freedom to paint where and what he wanted. Volume VIII of the 'John Singer Sargent catalogue raisonne' transports us to the artist's most beloved locations, often with his friends and family. In the paintings featured here, Sargent returned to subjects that had always held deep personal connections and artistic challenges: mountains, streams, rocks and torrents, figures in repose, architecture and gardens, boats and shipping. He had known and painted the Alps since childhood, and his new Alpine studies make up the greatest number of works in this book. Beautifully designed, this volume represents a continuation in organization and presentation and in the high standards that mark the series, and documents 299 works in oil and watercolour. Each painting is catalogued with full provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Wherever possible, works are illustrated in colour; some are accompanied by related drawings and comparative studies by Sargent's fellow artists. Contemporary photographs pinpoint the places and views that Sargent painted.
