John Singer Sargent Watercolors

The two US museums that own the largest collections of John Singer Sargent's work, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston and the Brooklyn Museum, have collaborated to mount this exhibition of over 90 Sargent watercolors. The accompanying website features a slideshow with 10 paintings, and several short videos. The first painting in the slideshow, Simplon Pass: Reading, about 1911, shows two young women dressed in white, lounging outdoors in the shade of their parasols. In one of the videos, art historian Richard Ormond, who is actually John Singer Sargent's great nephew, tells the story of one of the young women depicted, Rose-Marie Ormond, who was his aunt and Sargent's niece. "Meet the Master of Watercolor" is a video introduction to the exhibition with Museum Director Malcolm Rogers and curator Erica Hirshler, while "Learn Sargent's Technique" is a just-over-two-minute demo of Sargent's wet-on-wet painting, by artist Monika de Vries Gohlke.
