John Singer Sargent

I like the stark beauty of John Singer Sargent's 'Gassed' and, close up, it is nothing short of incredible. I've seen it a couple of times at the Imperial War Museum in London and reproductions can neither do it justice nor give a true feeling of its size. It's roughly 6 x 3 m and dominates the room it is in. This painting led me to explore his work further and I came across this short compilation. It's whetted my appetite: we really ought to get up to London and spend some time in the art galleries there. An early New Year's Resolution?
