Henry David Thoreau’s counsel, “Simplify. Simplify.” - applies to the painter. Sargent mastered simplicity (suggesting complexity).
Thank you so much James !
This and Sorolla's Sewing the Sails have me convinced that both these fellows were aliens!
Thanks James and Sascha and bravo Australia for making these images available in such a monumental way for us who can not make the trip!
yet only one or two are on display to the public.
