I'm not sure of the title of this one, one of his paintings of Tommies bathing. Really interesting to see how expressive his brushwork is. And in the original--a bit too much color bleeding in my copy--jow the pale blue violet shadows on the bodies enhance their whiteness amid all the green.
Sargent was not afraid of strong greens!

Love it !!
But looking at Sargent work I keep wondering more and more if he wasn't a pedofile, ....
He could paint though !!!
Well these Tommies are, I'm sure, adults, so not a pedophile, but perhaps, as some have speculated, attracted to men. There is circumstantial evidence, I think, of relationships, usually characterized as deep and longlasting friendships, with men.
Don't know about the age of those Tommies, ... the tend to get a lot younger during a severe battle, ... the average age in the Vietnam war was 19 as you now.
Anyhow you brought me on a whole new level cause I was sure about Joaquín Sorolla but again seeing this work of Sargent, ....
The last couple of years been such a weird time, nothing seems to be what it looked.
I love sorolla too!
Ooh my, ....
You're not of that club aren't you !
Hehehehe just kidding, ....
Sorolla, is marvelous, ... it's al dancing with brushes in my mind.
