John Singer Sargent Paintings

John Singer Sargent was the most successful portrait painter of his era, as well as a gifted landscape painter and watercolorist. Sargent was born in Florence, Italy to American parents.

 

Sargent studied in Italy and Germany, and then in Paris under Emile Auguste Carolus-Duran.Sargent studied with Carolus-Duran, whose influence would be pivotal, from 1874-1878. Carolus-Duran's atelier was progressive, dispensing with the traditional academic approach which required careful drawing and underpainting, in favor of the alla prima method of working directly on the canvas with a loaded brush, derived from Diego Velázquez. It was an approach which relied on the proper placement of tones of paint.

About La Carmencita John Singer Sargent Painting
Sargent may have first encountered the Spanish dancer known as La Carmencita (1868–1910) at the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris. In 1890, she took New York by storm, performing regularly at a music hall on Twenty-Third Street. She captivated Sargent, who called her a "bewildering superb creature." It was not long before he persuaded her to pose for him, though she was a restless and demanding sitter. Although Sargent made many studies of her performing, for this massive painting, he opted to portray her stationary. Her face, like that of several of Sargent’s models of the time, is rendered white and masklike from cosmetics, with arched eyebrows, hinting at a proud, even haughty presence. Sargent executed the portrait swiftly, leaving parts, like the arm, unfinished. Some critics condemned the portrait, perhaps because Sargent had represented a common music hall performer in such a monumental way.
