Ratcliff expertly evokes the expatriate American milieu into which the artist was born, and offers penetrating insights into every phase of his career, every aspect of his work. Now, for the first time, this landmark monograph is offered in a special oversize format, with all of its 310 illustrations reproduced in stunning full color, many at full-page size, allowing the reader to appreciate the master's every brushstroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of \u003cem\u003eJohn Singer Sargent\u003c\/em\u003e will be a treasured reference for artists and an unalloyed delight for art lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Abbeville Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780789214409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288","brand":"Carter Ratcliff","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42496108757173,"sku":"9780789214409","price":106.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1d7bf0b9-033a-4f94-90e1-1a4c713b9e0f.jpg?v=1667921061","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/john-singer-sargent-masterpiece-edition-9780789214409","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
