Those who know me well can tell you, I will travel across statelines to experience the works of John Singer Sargent. And of his ouvre, nothing sings like his water colors. Few have attained even the right to be compared (Winslow Homer is one, por exemplo).
Born in Italy, Sargent gave special consideration to Venice in his watercolors. The works included here testify to his talents and typify his strategic use of ultra-marine against the siennas and umbers to create luminescence.
In this exhibit I was treated to six of his watercolors. They were the final images, and as such a dessert delightfully indulged!
This one is titled: "Gondola Moorings on the Grand Canal".
