Download or read book John Singer Sargent Watercolors written by John Singer Sargent and published by Mfa Publications. This book was released on 2012 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Singer Sargents approach to watercolour was unconventional. Disregarding late-nineteenth-century aesthetic standards that called for carefully delineated and composed landscapes filled with transparent washes, his confidently bold, dense strokes and loosely defined forms startled critics and fellow practitioners alike. One reviewer in England, where Sargent spent much of his adult life, called his work swagger watercolours. For Sargent, however, the watercolours were not so much about swagger as about a new way of thinking. In watercolour as opposed to oils his vision became more personal and his works more interconnected. Presenting nearly 100 works of art, this book is the first major publication of Sargents watercolours in twenty years. Each chapter highlights a different subject or theme that attracted the artists attention during his travels through Europe and the Middle East: sunlight on stone, figures reclining on grass, patterns of light and shadow. Insightful essays by the worlds leading experts enhance this book and introduce readers to the full sweep of Sargents accomplishments in the medium, in works that delight the eye as well as challenge our understanding of this prodigiously gifted artist.

This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of a Group Exhibition of Water Color Paintings, Pastels, Drawings and Sculpture by American and European Artists: November 19-December 20, Inclusive, 1923 The Brooklyn Museum is especially interested in spreading the taste for water color painting. In the contemplation of the Museum, this is an art, not only replete with charm and with many practical features that should make for popularity, but it is worthy of the most serious study of discriminating art lovers. There is an impression that this branch of painting is without the dignity and importance of oils; that it is suitable only to the amateur with casual training, and that it involves no special difficulties for him. This is far from the truth. An art honored by the life long practice of Winslow Homer, not to cite many other distinguished painters, is not a minor art, nor inferior in its requirements to that of any other department of the fine arts; There are in fact many excellent painters in oil, but to be suc cessful in water color painting in its highest sense takes genius. It must be remembered that water color is a free flowing liquid and every stroke of the brush, accidental or intentional, remains on the drawing paper. The colors cannot be readily expunged or changed without injury to the picture. The artist must from the outset exercise the utmost vigilance. It is essentially the first stroke that counts. For this reason a true transparent watercolor painting is apt to convey in a singularly lucid manner the inspired impulse of the painter, and in consequence one feels closer to his thought than in the often labored and elaborated canvases of the painter m oils. Water color is especially adapted to the American artist. There is something in the joyous freedom of handling and brilliancy of effect possible in this medium that corresponds to the nature conditions by which the artist is typically surrounded, the sparkle of the somewhat thin atmosphere, the preponderance of sunlight, the vivid coloration and high visibility, and perhaps the absence of that vague atmospheric mystery found every. Where also, except in the tropics. The possibilities in the employment of these elements have been shown by what has already been achieved, and great things may be looked forward to in the future. For this reason the Brooklyn Museum has by its exhibitions laid stress on the importance of water color. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Trevor Chamberlain's watercolour paintings are a celebration of light and atmosphere, and his skill in painting directly from nature to capture the mood of his subjects has earned him an enviable reputation among both amateur and professional artists. Here Trevor Chamberlain offers a fascinating glimpse over his shoulder as he describes his approach to interpreting the effects of light and weather using the limited watercolourist's palette. Mood in nature is his constant source of inspiration and his favoured subjects are marine, town and landscape. He particularly enjoys capturing the transient aspects of the English weather but he has also travelled extensively and enjoys the challenge of confronting the unfamiliar light and surroundings in exotic locations such as Egypt, Iran and India. An artist of the plein air tradition, he always paints directly from nature at first hand, an approach which he enthusiastically recommends to readers of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Mellon (1907--1999) assembled one of the world’s greatest collections of British drawings and watercolors. In his memoirs he wrote of their “beauty and freshness… their immediacy and sureness of technique, their comprehensiveness of subject matter, their vital qualities, their Englishness.” This catalogue celebrating the centenary of Mellon's birth features eighty-eight outstanding watercolors from the fifty thousand works of art on paper with which he endowed the Yale Center for British Art. The selection spans the emergence of watercolor painting in the mid-18th century to its apogee in the mid-19th. These works highlight the diversity of British watercolors, showcasing both landscape and figurative works by some of the principal artists working in the medium, including Thomas Gainsborough, Thomas Rowlandson, William Blake, and J. M.W. Turner.
