American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art: John Singer Sargent

American Drawings and Watercolors in the Metropolitan Museum of Art: John Singer Sargent by Herdrich, Stephanie L.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780300085198.

The Museums collection illuminates all aspects of Sargents career. The drawings and watercolors in particular reflect his activity outside the portrait studio: his sojourns in Spain, Morocco and elsewhere in North Africa, and in the Middle East; his enduring fascination with Venice; his holidays in the Italian lake district and the Alps; his tours of North America, including Florida and the Rocky Mountains; his visit as an official war artist to the western front in 1918; and his work as a muralist at the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Harvard Universitys Widener Library.
