WHISTLER, SARGENT, and STEER

By Avis Berman and David Fraser Jenkins

Book Overview

Arriving at their mature styles independently of one another, the renowned American expatriate painters James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent and the British artist Philip Wilson Steer are often credited with bringing modern art to London near the end of the nineteenth century. Inspired by the lively brushwork of painters from Velazquez to Monet, each of these artists developed a distinctive approach to Impressionism, utilizing spontaneously applied strokes of paint and closely modulated colors to capture the effects of light as it played across the figure and landscape.
