Sargent: The Masterworks : Herdrich, Stephanie L. Reviews

    I have had access to all the big 'Complete Works' that I can't afford. This is a very nice alternative that doesn't require a mortgage. A very nice selection of works and wonderful 'detail' views. The beautiful colours show JSS at his best. There is quite a bit of text, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment and usefulness of the book to anyone hoping to learn from the pictures or just love art. A lovely book BUY

    Great gift

  • Hugo Neto

    John Singer Sargent's talent and genius are brought together in this beautiful book, with exceptional reproductions of many of his seminal works, as well as precise and synthetic information concerning his biography and the aesthetic bases of his creative work. A book of rare beauty, just like the work of the artist to which he refers.

    Beautiful and well presented book with a strong range of Sargent works, though I would have liked to see a few watercolours and drawings. There was a problem with delivery however communication was great and issue was resolved
