Intense training

[Denise Hall]

I am definitely interested and will check back to see if this all works out Bill - since I didn't buy this book awhile ago and now the price has skyrocketed!!

Thanks!

Bill, I am so glad that you have found time to share the importance of Bargue and type drawings with the forum. I will be more than happy to contribute if I can. Being that I have lot of the plates in a tif format I will e-maila file upon request.

Hi,

I spent the day at the Boston Museum yesterday, poking my nose as close as I could to the Manets, Sargents, Monets, Renoirs, Degas, Coutures, Winterhalters, Velasquezes,Bouchers, Stuarts, Geromes, Copleys etc.

The collection is so overwhelming, it caused the Frenchman standing next to me to cry out ,"quelle abondance!"

I espied a tiny painting, about 8 1/4 x 11". It was a Bargue, "The Turkish Sentinel". The drawing is so precise, refined and accurate in this tiny piece. The figure of the man is so beautifully painted, you can feel the languidness of his body beneath the clothing.

Also I am posting a Bargue drawing. The control and refinement of his line work is beyond compare and a total delight. I would kill for this drawing.
