{"product_id":"john-singer-sargent-richard-ormond-9781911282488","title":"John Singer Sargent: Portraits in Charcoal","description":"John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) was one of the greatest portrait artists of his time. While he is best known for his powerful paintings, he largely ceased painting portraits in 1907 and turned instead to charcoal drawings to satisfy portrait commissions. These drawn portraits represent a substantial, yet often overlooked, part of his practice, and they demonstrate the same sense of immediacy, psychological sensitivity, and mastery of chiaroscuro that animate Sargent's sitters on canvas. This volume presents over sixty superb portrait drawings, showcasing sitters famous for their roles in politics, society, and the arts. It also explores the friendships and the networks of patronage that underpinned Sargent's practice as a portrait draftsman in Edwardian Britain and Progressive Era America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Ormond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911282484\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911282488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.80w x 0.80d","brand":"Richard Ormond","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44540816589055,"sku":"9781911282488","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31abe6da-ac60-40e2-91b3-fae3aee1f687.jpg?v=1700590023","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-singer-sargent-richard-ormond-9781911282488","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
