Reviews
I am using Kindle on the iPad and I found this book a wonderful resource for looking at the way Sargent approached his portraits. I agree with some of the other reviewers that the resolution could be a little better, but I have found it to be sufficient. The direction of brush strokes is largely visible. Colour is never going to match the originals and paintings are ALWAYS best in person, but I find I have been captivated by it nonetheless. Sargent was a genius and this is a solid source.
