本卷是专门介绍约翰·辛格·萨金特 (1856-1925) 作品的系列丛书的最后一卷，涵盖了萨金特在 1914 年至 1925 年间创作的人物和风景作品。故事开始于 1914 年夏天，当时艺术家正在奥地利度假，与朋友一起作画，当时他并不知道战争即将爆发。第二年，他开始在伦敦为波士顿公共图书馆和波士顿美术博物馆创作壁画，之后在波士顿待了两年，探索美国其他地区。在佛罗里达为约翰·D·洛克菲勒绘制肖像时，他创作了一组独特的佛罗里达水彩画，对色彩、形式和光线的运用令人叹为观止。1918 年 7 月，他接受英国政府的邀请，以官方战争艺术家的身份前往索姆河战场。这段经历促使他创作了一系列非凡的作品，描绘了军队调动、休班士兵的休憩，以及他史诗级油画《毒气》（Gassed）的习作。萨金特于1921年和1922年回到波士顿完成壁画项目，并在缅因州和新罕布什尔州的访问中创作了大量水彩画。关于萨金特所用材料及其画框的章节使这一非凡项目更加完整。

The final volume in a full survey of the work of John Singer Sargent, covering his late watercolors, designs for the Boston murals, and work as an official War Artist

The last in a series of books devoted to the work of John Singer Sargent (1856–1925), this volume covers the figure and landscape works that Sargent produced between 1914 and 1925. The story begins with the artist painting with friends on vacation in Austria in the summer of 1914, unaware that war was about to be declared. The following year, he began working in London on his ideas for the murals at the Boston Public Library and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, before spending two years in Boston and exploring other parts of America. While in Florida to paint a portrait of John D. Rockefeller, he produced a group of uniquely Floridian watercolors that are breathtaking arrangements of color, form, and light. In July 1918 he accepted an invitation from the British government to travel to the Somme battlefields as an official war artist. This experience led him to produce a remarkable group of works depicting troop movements, off-duty soldiers relaxing, and the studies for his epic canvas, Gassed. Sargent returned to Boston in 1921 and 1922 to complete his mural projects, and visits to Maine and New Hampshire yielded numerous watercolors. Chapters on Sargent’s materials and the framing of his pictures complete this remarkable project.
