American artist John Singer Sargent is widely hailed as the “leading portrait painter of his generation” and this description aptly sums up the work that he did for the majority of his career. Paintings such as Portrait of Madame X (1884), Lady Agnew of Lochnaw (1893) and Theodore Rooselvelt (1903) are some of the more famous examples of his portraiture, and by the 1890s he was averaging around 14 portrait commissions per year. While his watercolours of which he created more than 2,000, are often viewed as his method of escape from the monotony of portraiture, allowing him to indulge some of other artistic sensibilities - natural scenes, architecture, exotic people and mountainous landscapes – it is important to note that earlier in his career Sargent hadn’t felt constrained to working solely on portraits. His earliest enthusiasm had been for landscapes and it was really only through the influence of his teacher and mentor Carolus-Duran that Sargent began to focus on portrait painting.
Sargent’s Youthful Genius
A new exhibition of paintings by American portrait artist John Singer Sargent is due to go on display at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Texas, in March. The exhibition entitled Sargent’s Youthful Genius: Paintings from the Clark, features four renowned Sargent oil paintings that are on loan from the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and which will be travelling to Texas for the very first time. As the exhibition’s title suggests, the show will focus on Sargent’s work from early in his career, before he achieved the level of fame, and infamy, that would make him one of the most in demand portrait artists in the world.
