Carl, good point. Sargent found the Impressionists interesting for the right reasons. While many of those artists were struggling Sargent spoke highly of their work and bought it himself when others wouldn't. (He owned at least two Monets.)Indeed Sargent was snubbed by most of the Impressionists even when his outdoor sketches looked just like their work (maybe only with better drawing of figures).
