Tom
Tom, good one. I think that was Sargent's last right? That's a good story. It also begs the point...was Sargent American, Italian, British or French? It was said he would use French when he did not know the right English word. He spent 6 months in America- 40 years in England...yet France and Italy were major influences upon his art education. I think about all we can claim is his legal nationality.
