520			_aThe work of John S. Sargent, R.A. by John Singer Sargent and Alice Meynell is an art monograph with a critical introductory essay and a large portfolio of plates, produced in the early 20th century. It centers on the painter’s portraiture and figure pictures, considering his artistic vision and technique while showcasing many of his most notable works. The introductory note argues for the breadth and legitimacy of portraiture as a “silent art” that reveals character, nation, and race through the visible signs of life. It praises the painter’s vigilant insight, his ability to suggest movement (as in El Jaleo and A Spanish Dance) and poise (as in Lord Ribblesdale), and his delicate rendering of children and twilight in Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, while noting he sometimes fixes too narrowly on a single passing aspect. The essay weighs “literary” versus visual values, rejects facile “psychology” in favor of direct perception, and situates the artist within the tradition of manifest “power of hand,” aligning him with masters who prize modelling, values, and relations over overt colorism. It also touches on contemporary critical debates (invoking Ruskin, Rodin, and Old Masters) to frame the painter’s place among the greats. The bulk of the book then presents a sequence of reproductions—society portraits, performers, statesmen, studies from Spain and the Mediterranean, and celebrated canvases such as Madame Gautreau, Miss Ellen Terry as Lady Macbeth, and numerous family groups—offering a broad survey of the painter’s range and vitality.
