Any serious student of the arts should read this. And you need to go to the Gardner in Boston to see the painting too. It's just mind blowing.
People want $140 bucks and up for this paperback. Don't pay it.
I got mine at the Gardner for ten bucks, lost it in Katrina, waited and got a used one for twenty. Or search the library.
it's paperback- and owning one is a trust, they are limited. It needs to be reissued.

So Seargent and Manet and a few other young artists ran of to Spain to squander a little youth- and some amazing things came of it. Historians of all kinds seem to have blackballed Spain, but this book is about a journey and the amazing painting that came of it.
If you can't buy it- find one and read it.
'The best painting Sargent ever painted...'

An excellent history and detailed analysis of the classic painting by John Singer Sargent. Although known mostly as a nineteenth century portaitist, Sargent's depiction of a Spanish dancer in El Jaleo received much critical acclaim. The book traces Sargent's artisitic influences and fascination with Spanish culture which inspired him to paint El Jaleo. There is also a great section featuring many of Sargent's early sketches and design studies. This book is a great reference for anyone interested in Sargent or this masterpiece of his early works.
