Not on viewWeb CommentaryHenry James was an accomplished art critic. Having studied with the artist John LaFarge as a youth, his criticism reflected a firsthand knowledge of painting. Of Sargent, James concludes: “The gift that he possesses he possesses completely—the immediate perception of the end and of the means.”
