The "John Singer Sargent Watercolors" exhibition just opened at the MFA Boston. I have been looking forward to this show since seeing it on their Upcoming calendar earlier this year. When I worked at an art gallery in Boston the summers between sophomore & junior years of college, the assistant gallery director (who is now one of my very good friends) loved Sargent, and I always think of her when I see his pieces. She lives in Texas now, but I know that she would be first in line to see this show if she was still in Boston. Ninety pieces will be on display, but here are just a few that inspired me.
John Singer Sargent, Simplon Pass: Reading, about 1911 | modern-day reading
John Singer Sargent, Corfu: Lights and Shadows, 1909 | a green door
John Singer Sargent, Villa di Marlia, Lucca: A Fountain, 1910 | lemon trees
John Singer Sargent, Pomegranates, 1908 | among the pomegranates
