Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: Fine. Sargent (1999) by Elaine Kilmurray & Richard Ormond Publisher: Tate Gallery | ISBN: 9781854372468 | Condition: Fine (yes, even by our standards) Lovingly mishandled by Crappy Old Books John Singer Sargent: the man who painted portraits so dazzling that even the aristocracy looked faintly human for a change. In this hefty Tate Gallery volume, Elaine Kilmurray and Richard Ormond serve up page after page of scandalously beautiful brushwork?drapery flowing like molten silk, faces glowing with smug Edwardian confidence, and enough society swagger to make you long for a starched collar and a monocle. This copy is in Fine condition, which in the eccentric taxonomy of Crappy Old Books means it?s unnervingly perfect. The spine is uncreased, the pages unscribbled, and the binding so tight it probably disapproves of your lifestyle choices. It?s so pristine you?ll hesitate to actually read it, preferring instead to leave it open on a coffee table and wait for visitors to be impressed. Inside, you?ll find the kind of scholarship that makes you nod thoughtfully while secretly wondering how Sargent managed to make fabric look shinier than real fabric. The reproductions are sumptuous, the commentary is suitably reverent, and the overall effect is that of being gently bullied by beauty. Why buy this? Because modern life is grey and pixelated, and you deserve to bask in the smug glow of high society portraiture. Because you?ll never own a real Sargent, but you can own this book and pretend. And because nothing says ?I?m cultured? quite like casually tossing off the phrase ?Of course, Sargent?s handling of chiaroscuro is divine? at brunch. In short: Fine condition. Fine art. Fine chance to look fancy without effort. Seller Inventory # 4579
