Overview

Many of the sitters in this collection were John Singer Sargent's close friends. They are posed informally, sometimes in the act of painting or singing, and it is evident from the bold way they confront us that they are personalities of a creative stamp. Notable as these pictures are as works of art and studies of character, they are also records of relationships, allegiances, influences, and aspirations. This volume aims to explore these friendships in depth and draw out their significance in the story of Sargent's life and the development of his art.
