		Sargent was the Mozart of painters, the genius to whom mastery came so easily that his competitors despised him for it.
		Sargent's dashing style left the Victorian art world gasping at the palpable physicality he depicted, and the sense of intimacy it evoked, a world apart from the stiff, formal portraits they had come to expect from more mundane artists.
		Sargent was outwardly proper, but his sexual life was said to be "notorious in Paris," and in Venice "positively scandalous." Some hint of it is visible in his charcoal sketches of athletic Italian gondoliers included in this show from the collections of the Harvard University Art Museums.

		Sargent's vagabond childhood instilled in him a lifelong love of travel, and despite the large girth he acquired in later years he was always an energetic walker and mountain hiker.
		Technically, Sargent's paintings are always delightful and instructive to study for the seemingly endless variations in brushstrokes they contain (compare, for example, the squirmy brownish lines across the middle dress with the energetic violet slashes across the other, or the densely thatched texture of the righthand bush with the looser texture of the background).
		Sargent's watercolors repay careful study for their remarkable brush technique, minimal palettes, beautiful color harmonies, perfectly judged tonal values, infallible sense of composition, and for his ability to capture the durable facts of the world in a way that highlights the poignant transience of perception and human existence.

	Worcester Art Museum - Muddy Alligators
		Sargent was the foremost portraitist in London and the United States at the turn of the century, but by 1910 he undertook portraiture only rarely.
		During the preceding decade watercolor had become an important aspect of his production, and he frequently looked to this medium as a means for personal expression, a respite from the constraints of mural commissions and portrait painting.
		A seemingly unlikely subject for a fashionable painter, alligators caked with mud nevertheless presented a pictorial challenge that recurs in Sargent's oeuvre: the depiction of light and shadow on sun-drenched forms.
