Hercules Brabazon Brabazon
by John Singer Sargent ( 1890s )
graphite on off-white wove paper |
For much of his life, Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (1821 - 1906) pleased himself as a gentleman traveller, producing luminous, loosely handled watercolours of favourite paintings and places (including India, which he visited in 1870, 1875 and 1876). Admired by John Ruskin as an heir to J M W Turner, he joined the eminent critic on a sketching tour to northern France in 1880. Yet his startling modernity was probably recognised only in the 1890s, by a younger generation of artists, which included John Singer Sargent, Walter Sickert and Philip Wilson Steer. Through their enthusiasm, he was elected a member of the New English Art Club in 1891, and held the first of a series of solo shows at the Goupil Gallery in the following year.
