SARGENT, JOHN SINGER (1856-), Anglo-American artist (see 24.219), exhibited in 1910 the open-air paintings “Albanian Olive Gatherers,” “Glacier Streams,” “A Garden at Corfu” and “Vespers.” In 1911 appeared “A Waterfall” and “The Loggia.” His portrait of Henry James was exhibited in 1914, and was one of the pictures damaged in that year by suffragette attacks. He contributed in 1915 a blank canvas to a Red Cross sale at Christie's, which was secured by Sir Hugh Lane just before his death for £10,000. In Dec. 1916 the third series of his mural decorations in the Boston Public Library was unveiled. This concluding series is entitled “The Theme of the Madonna.” The first series (1895) depicts “The Judaic Development”; the second (1903), “The Dogma of the Redemption.” The theme of the whole is “Judaism and Christianity.” In 1917 he was elected a trustee of the Tate Gallery. During the World War he made a number of paintings of scenes on the western front; and his large picture “Gassed” in the Royal Academy in 1919 attracted great attention. In Nov. 1921 his decorations in the rotunda of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts were unveiled.
