商品簡介
The Brooklyn Museum of Art bought the entirety of Sargent''s 1909 exhibition, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston bought the entirety of a second (and final) showing of watercolors in 1912. This volume is published jointly by the two museums in conjunction with an exhibition scheduled for several venues during 2013 and 2014. The presentation showcases 100 works shown full page in an oversize volume (11.75x9.85", landscape format)--the stunning paintings in their entirety along with eye-popping details. The two editors are affiliated with the two institutions (Hirshler with MFA; Carbone with the Brooklyn Museum). They''ve brought together a half dozen contributors to provide essays on Sargent''s technical virtuosity, the distinctive qualities of the works themselves, and the context of their creation.
