The black and orange pennants are safely tacked over the mantle, the silver steins glisten in a row, and lights burn late as the chill dusk gathers in across the rolling lawns. Happy thoughts of golden autumn weekends linger, but the mood is one of manly anticipation: Bicker, once again, draws high...

He amused himself increasingly with watercolor landscapes, to which he gave a wet, soft and unconvincing glisten. .During World War I, Sargent sketched and painted at the front-an act of courage and enterprise which nevertheless achieved little. He had visited the U.S. on occasion, and never relinquished his U.S. citizenship. Toward the end he accepted a corn-mission to design murals for the rotunda and entrance hall of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which he hoped would...
