Comboio de camiões
1918
Known for painting wealthy socialites, John Singer Sargent swapped his fancy studio for the muddy roads of World War I in 1918. Here, he uses quick, splashy watercolor strokes to capture a line of military trucks paused on a dusty road, framed by the jagged, pollarded trees in the foreground. It's a surprisingly peaceful snapshot of wartime logistics, showing how even a master portraitist found beauty in the mundane machinery of war.
