John Singer Sargent's Paintings On Holiday is a look at his work out from the studio into the open air, his success was destined from the start. Boundless energy and a commitment to excel was his gift. A superb draughtsman and a careful observer of momentary occurrences kept him fresh and alert to every opportunity to paint without hesitation. Sargent advised the young painter to seek to be an artist first then perhaps choose portraiture. He was generous to other painters and yet reserved. One of the true masters of painting and a gift to art lovers everywhere.
