Description: | The fashionable London portrait painter John Sargent painted many landscape watercolours during sketching holidays in the Alps. This composition is created from dashes of brilliant colour, applied in a lattice of brushstrokes. Sargent referred to his watercolours as 'snapshots'. He painted on damp paper in a mixture of clear colours and opaque white watercolour. Sargent was influenced by the way French artists such as Claude Monet and Henri Matisse broke down form, and used vibrant colour in their paintings. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours views art men | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
