What a powerful and inspirational sentence. Thank you SB for posting all this info on Sargent.
I recenlty saw this painting in the Boston Museum and what was so interesting to me was that the two vases, which were right there next to the painting, were so much more complex than the vases in the painting. At first I wasn't even sure they were the same vases. Sargent had painted only the essence of the vases, not every single little tiny detail. Something worthwhile for me to remember!
