My old art teacher lauded Sargent. I can see why.

  3. when he steps beyond portatiting the wealthy his insight and skills at both social and technical level step further forward. He was comissioned to paint WW1 painting to highlight UK/USA cooperation. He could find no examples of cross-national cooperation to paint - the resulting painting 'gassed' is extremely moving. Brilliant.
