Body of Art: The Figure in American Painting

John Singer Sargent Sargent (1856–1925) was an American expatriate painter renowned for his virtuosic society portraits. Working primarily in oil, he developed a fluid brushwork technique that captured both physical likeness and psychological presence, establishing himself as the preeminent portraitist of his era. --- Winslow Homer Homer (1836–1910) was an American realist painter celebrated for seascapes, rural scenes, and figure studies. He worked across oil painting and watercolor, often depicting solitary figures in dialogue with nature, emphasizing compositional clarity and atmospheric effect. --- Andrew Wyeth Wyeth (1917–2009) was an American painter known for intimate, detailed representations of rural Pennsylvania and Maine. Working in tempera and watercolor, he created deeply personal portraits and domestic scenes marked by restrained color, meticulous draftsmanship, and psychological depth.
