John Singer Sargent

-Fascinating and lucid . . . a stunningly illustrated and illuminating life of a singular painter.- - Sue Roe, Wall Street Journal

-Not just another art history book, no title in recent memory recalls with such exactitude the style of an era that, in retrospect, has become increasingly golden. . . . The book and its prose shimmer.- - New York Times

-Never before have Sargent-s talents been so gloriously displayed as they are here. Quite simply, this Abbeville edition is a stunner, a book as satisfyingly extravagant as a Sargent portrait.- - Christian Science Monitor

-The spontaneity, elegance, and grace that characterize Sargent-s work are everywhere evident on these large, luminous pages. . . . A visual delight, well written.- - Art and Antiques
