内容简介

肖像画是一门要求很高的艺术，它要求艺术家捕捉肖像并将其呈现出来，揭示出图像背后的一些个性。它是一项双管齐下的任务，需要高超的技术和直觉的眼光。在这两方面，约翰-辛格-萨金特都脱颖而出，成为一位具有重要地位的肖像艺术家。

1856年，萨金特生于佛罗伦萨，父母都是美国人，他很早就表现出了艺术天赋，并进入该市的Academia delle Belle Arti学习。后来他师从巴黎艺术家Carolus Duran，获得了他闻名于世的松散的绘画风格。作为一个肖像艺术家，国际上的赞誉在他生命的早期就出现了，并伴随着他的整个职业生涯。

萨金特的油彩肖像画广为人知；它们出现在世界各地的主要博物馆里。他的肖像画是他作品中鲜为人知但却备受推崇的一个方面，也是本次收藏的重点。这里包括早期的铅笔和粉笔作品，以及后来的炭笔画，这是萨金特在1910年以后所喜欢的一种媒介。这些作品由艺术史学家Trevor J. Fairbrother从公共和私人收藏中挑选出来，证明了萨金特在三种不同媒介上的技巧、多才多艺和灵巧。

Portraiture is a demanding art requiring the artist to capture a likeness and render it revealing some hint of the personality behind the image. A two-pronged task, it requires great technical skill and an intuitive eye. In both these respects, John Singer Sargent stands out as a portrait artist of major stature.

Born in 1856 in Florence of American parents, Sargent showed artistic aptitude at an early age and was enrolled at the Academia delle Belle Arti in that city. Later he studied with Parisian artist Carolus Duran, acquiring the loose, painterly style for which he is renowned. International acclaim as a portrait artist came early in his life and followed him throughout his career.

Sargent's portraits done in oil are well known; they appear in major museums throughout the world. A lesser-known but no less respected aspect of his oeuvre, his portrait drawings are the focus of this collection. Included here are early works in pencil and pastels, and later renderings in charcoal, a medium Sargent favored after 1910. They have been selected from both public and private collections by art historian Trevor J. Fairbrother and attest to Sargent's technical skill, versatility, and dexterity in three different mediums.
