"This is the first volume in a complete-works catalog that will include oil paintings, watercolors and pastels by the 19th Century American expatriate. . . . It encompasses a number of his most famous paintings, reproducing them beautifully in color and providing a number of luscious closeups of his virtuoso brushwork. The superb introductory essay sets his work against artistic theories of the period, and detailed entries on the paintings provide even biographical accounts of the sitters. A book that amply justifies its sixteen years of labor--and not only to specialists."--Alan G. Artner, Chicago Tribune "This second volume of Ormond and Kilmurray's comprehensively researched catalogue raisonn of Sargent's work in oil, watercolor, and pastel provides the most extensive provenance, publication, and exhibition histories to date for nearly 150 extant and untraced or destroyed portraits and portrait studies from the decade during which the artist reached the pinnacle of his career. . . . [An] impressive package, [and] an invaluable research tool for scholars. Essential. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and researchers."-- Choice "This magnificent, erudite compilation demonstrates fittingly that Sargent was the outstanding society portraitist of his age. . . . It is a volume that should be in every library."--Byron Ireland, Day by Day "This superb monument of art scholarship finally does justice to the greatest portrait painter of modern times."-- New York Sun " The Early Portraits is a lavishly illustrated, handsome publication, fully embodying the high standard for art books, particularly those on painting, we have come to expect from Yale University Press. . . . This is fine, evocative writing, which goes far to suggest why Sargent's early portraits merit our close attention. The Early Portraits thoroughlyestablishes the factual record of their creation and has immediately become a standard reference in their continuing appreciation."--Mary Crawford Volk, New England Quarterly, "This is the first volume in a complete-works catalog that will include oil paintings, watercolors and pastels by the 19th Century American expatriate. . . .

Synopsis
This magnificent book is the first volume of the definitive catalogue raisonn of the works in oil, watercolor, and pastel of the beloved painter John Singer Sargent. This volume catalogues portraits by Sargent from 1874, when he began his training in Paris, and covers pictures painted while he was establishing his reputation in Paris, during his early years in England, and on his first professional visit to America in 1887. Volume two will record portraits painted from 1890 until the end of the artist's career. The entire catalogue raisonn will bring together nearly 600 portraits, some 1,600 subject pictures and landscapes, and three mural cycles. The early portraits in this book range from private images of Sargent's family and friends to studies of writers and fellow artists and formal portraits of Parisian celebrities and patrons in France, England, and America. These include his most controversial work, Madame Gautreau , and studies of some of the major artistic figures of the day: Claude Monet , Robert Louis Stevenson , and Ellen Terry in her role as Lady Macbeth. Each work is catalogued in depth, with a biographical account of the sitter, a discussion of the contemporary context of the painting, and a detailed provenance, exhibition history, and bibliography. Almost all of the paintings are shown, mostly in color, including some that have never been reproduced before. The fruit of some sixteen years of research, this valuable reference provides a broad and comprehensive view of Sargent's art.

- e***t (32)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCommunication was excellent. The item was as described along with 3 pictures. The seller accepted my offer. Was prompt in sending it. It arrived today (1 day early). It appears to be in excellent condition, even better than the pictures seemed to show. The VHS was in a plastic VHS case (along with the original cardboard sleeve) and was packed with a thin foam wrap around the VHS plastic case. I would do business with this seller again.

And the price was almost too cheap-- the book I ordered is pricey, new or used, and this price beat anything I found; in fact I assumed there would be something wrong with it, but instead it's perfect. Great seller.
