Landscape with Tower 1871

Editor: Here we have John Singer Sargent's "Landscape with Tower," a petite pencil drawing. It's so understated, almost dreamlike. What strikes you about it? Curator: It whispers, doesn’t it? Like a half-remembered travelogue. I see Sargent, restless as ever, capturing a fleeting impression. Notice how the tower and mountains become almost one, dissolving the boundaries between architecture and nature. It's more about feeling than meticulous detail, wouldn’t you agree? Editor: Absolutely. It really does feel like he's chasing after a feeling. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! It's a reminder that art can be a quick sketch of the soul, sometimes.
