after Sargent - bathing by Joe Hargreaves

Is this John Singer Sargent? Forgive my ignorance. Fantastic looseness and vitality and great colours as well.

Agree with Thea... great one.

Yes its John Singer Sargent, the great man himself. I like to put my own interpretation on other artists works. Artists like Sargent toured Europe visiting galleries in Spain and The Hetherlands, copying great works from Frans Hals and Velasquez. You can find an amazing source of Sargents work at www.jssgallery.org/index.htm. Other great artist at the time were Zorn www.anderszorn.info/ Sorolla www.joaquin-sorolla-y-bastida.org/ .....enjoy
