SARGENT: THE MASTERWORKS (HB)

An ideal introduction to the painter’s work, illustrating all aspects of his diverse oeuvre, this handsome new book includes works from both private and public collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s infamous Madame X. Author Stephanie L. Herdrich draws on a wealth of new research to provide both an essential overview and a more nuanced understanding of the great American painter. From his childhood and early years in Paris, to his mid-career portraits made in England and United States, and his later years painting out of doors.
