John Singer Sargent Hardcover – Import, 20 October 1998

Large hardcover book with big beautiful pictures. The color on the photos are crisp and accurate.

Tremendous portraiture - cannot stop looking at the magnificent plates.

No estoy muy contento con la calidad de las imágenes, algunas con tonos muy amarillos e incluso en algunas partes desenfocadas, no sé si fue cuestión de imprenta, algunas tienen buena calidad y son nítidas otras tienen los negros grisáceos. Busquen otro libro mejor.

I was pleased with the substantial biographical text along with the quantity of color plates (171) & black & white drawings (85 charcoal). I purchased this book just to get a full page plate of the Lady Agnew portrait, to use as reference for a copy-drawing that I was working on. I decided to purchase this compilation of JSS's work, since it was a collaboration with JSS's great nephew Richard Ormond, Art expert and director of Greenwich Maritime Museum, combined with Elaine Kilmurray's expertise in Art collection catalogue work. This book gave me much more.My admiration of JSS's portraiture expanded after seeing the John Singer Sergeant exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum in Seattle. Especially awe-inspiring was the (at least 7 foot tall) original of "Madame X". This book is a good followup to seeing real Sargeant's paintings. Wish the Sargeant's exhibit would come back to Seattle. I have new questions since purchasing & reading this book.

Le livre arrivé n'était pas celui commandé, (c'était bien le bon peintre, mais pas l'auteur ni l'édition prévue) et la couverture était en mauvais état ce qui n'était pas précisé dans l'annonce.Très décevant
