Description
John Singer Sargent's close friends 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. This book aims to explore these friendships and draw out their significance in the story of Sargent's life and the development of his art.
