About the Exhibition:

 “John Singer Sargent Watercolors” offers visitors an
unprecedented opportunity to view the magnificent works Sargent produced
between 1902 and 1911, when he was at the height of his artistic powers
and internationally recognized as the greatest American painter of his
age. His bold and experimental approach to the medium caused a sensation
in Britain and great excitement in America.  These daringly conceived
compositions (along with a select group of oils), made in Spain and
Portugal, Greece, Switzerland and the Alps, regions of Italy, Syria and
Palestine, demonstrate the unity of Sargent’s artistic vision after the
turn of the 20th century, when he sought to liberate himself from the
burden of portrait commissions and to devote himself instead to painting
scenes of landscape, labor, and leisure. The exhibition is accompanied
by a full-color catalogue exploring Sargent’s engagement with watercolor
painting and examining the technical mastery that led to such brilliant
work.
