The project has been a magnificent endeavor – the first volume in the series was published in 1998. Yale is also delighted to present an interview with Richard Ormond, Sargent’s great nephew and co-author of the series. Richard was deputy director of the National Portrait Gallery and director of the National Maritime Museum for many years, but has been working on the catalogue raisonné full-time since 2000. Ormond has a life-long passion for his subject. Yale’s John Singer Sargent Catalogue Raisonné brings together nearly 600 portraits, some 1,600 subject pictures and landscapes, and three mural cycles, representing one of the most complete and conclusive works of art scholarship undertaken on the subject of Sargent. Each work is catalogued in depth, with a biographical account of the sitter, a discussion of the contemporary context of the painting, and a detailed provenance, exhibition history and bibliography. Almost all of the paintings are shown, mostly in colour, including some that have never been reproduced before. The fruit of some sixteen years of research, this valuable reference provides a broad and comprehensive view of Sargent’s art.
