John Singer Sargent: The Later Portraits: The Later Portraits; Complete Paintings: Volume III (Complete paintings of John Singer Sargent)

The Ormond/Kilmurray oeuvre complete of John Sargent is the definitive publication, and won't be superceded. I'm out to get them all, but inevitably they are not cheap books - but gorgeous, just like Sargent's work. Few other artists have received this kind of treatment, and even fewer modern artists. Because of this work, Sargent will, in the future, always be known as an important artist, whose work deserves solid scholarship (as here) and critical attention.

An absolutely superb collection of paintings by the renowned artist John Singer Sargent. The paintings themselves are, for the most part, printed in high-quality colour. Having viewed some of Sargents paintings in the museum, this collection is about as good as it gets without having to travel around the globe to view his paintings. The book itself is a sturdy hardback with good-quality binding. The book contains a large amount of information about each painting, from small biographies of the sitters themselves to commentaries about Sargent's relationships with his various clients. Even included are small items like preparitory sketches and information relating to Sargent's studio and residence.Quite simply, an excellent resource. Expensive, but well worth obtaining a copy.

Good condition just as described. Will lookout for others in the series.
