John Singer Sargent: An Exhibition of Over Forty Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors

24 October - 6 December 2013

Bringing together significant artworks from important private collections, John Singer Sargent: An Exhibition of Over Forty Paintings, Drawings, and Watercolors illustrates the brilliant diversity and artistic range of American expatriate artist, John Singer Sargent (1856–1925). Though widely recognized as the leading portrait painter of his generation, Sargent, in fact, treated a number of subjects and themes over the course of his career that extended beyond the realms of Edwardian-era luxury—including a number of works which speak intimately to his travels through Italy and Spain. Through the thoughtful collection of paintings and works on paper from this range of attended genres, John Singer Sargent presents a visual framework for the skillfully nuanced approaches by which the artist would capture the individuality and essence of both posed sitters and exotic locales alike.

The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
