Sketching at Boring Meetings

John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) didn't like to speak up at meetings, so he reached for a pen and some paper instead.

and John Seymour Lucas (1849-1923)

Martin Birnbaum, in his recollections about John Singer Sargent, said: "When he felt bored during some of the meetings of the Royal Academy which he was obliged to attend, he would pass the time making sketches of his fellow members, and Sir David Murray collected and preserved a volume of those hasty impressions."

Sargent's pen immediately sought out the essential lines and planes of the face.

Sometimes he seemed to be looking for a quick tonal statement.

Other times he went for a humorous or highly reductive caricature, probably from memory. He even playfully experimented with tessellation and symmetrical ink blots.

Sargent's quick sketches show how he could bring a variety of visual tools to play in stating the essence of a person. Edwin Blashfield called him a "master of masters" and "a mind with a quite outstanding visual outlook." (Source)
