Drawing
Master Class
from the
MET Museum By
John Singer Sargent
After one reaches the top of the Grand Staircase at the Met Museum in New York City, if you turn to your left there is the hallway to many of the museums finest collections of Western Art and usually a special exhibition or two.
Most visitors to the museum pass through this hallway quickly, but the museum dedicates this space to showing small works from their collection. It's a treasure trove of changing art, showing the techniques and insights behind many of the great artists represented in the museum. It is definitely worth the few minutes it takes to stop and check it out.
On a recent visit to this hallway, the curators were presenting a few drawings and prints by John Singer Sargent, plus two of his small watercolors.
These works are as much about depicting the folds in fabric as they are about how to render the human form. Look and learn from this master draftsman, artist John Singer Sargent.
