John Singer Sargent and Simplicity

290

John Singer Sargent's work is a great example of simplicity made to look complex. 

When you really look at his work, he's prioritizing the important shapes and ignoring everything else.

There isn't any assignment for this lesson, but I would encourage you to go look at some other artists and see if you can simplify down their paintings in a similar way.
