Sargent's Youthful Genius: Paintings from the Clark

March 11–June 17, 2012
Second floor

Four spectacular paintings by John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) are part of the renowned collection of the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Sterling Clark’s discerning eye led him to acquire several works by Sargent, including the monumental painting Fumée d’Ambre Gris, which Clark purchased in 1914. Though intimate in scale, Sargent’s Youthful Genius: Paintings from the Clark provides insight into a remarkably talented young artist, who achieved international acclaim by the time he turned 30.
