A Book on artist Sargent 藝術家薩金特

A future book on technical analysis about John Singer Sargent's works by me will be, probably, the first book of this catagory.

解碼  這是不可能的解碼所有的秘密，一個藝術作品，但也有一些機密容易被探測，但沒有披露。
現在，看看這些畫你是如此熟悉，寫，演講，或解釋為“最後的秘密"。有一個問題仍然存在：
有一個秘密的設計模式，發揮了重要的作用或全部細節，所有這些以下，還有更多作品呢？

Decode    It is not possible to decode all the secrets of an art work, although some secrets are easier to be probed, but have not been disclosed.
Now, look at those paintings you are so familiar with, were written, lectured, or explained as the "final secret". A question still remain:

Is there an undisclosed design code (pattern), plays an important role in whole or in detail, for all these following, and many more master works?

*Sargent的週期
你可能永遠不知道薩金特的“代碼” ，但可能會發現他在他的財富週期。這樣，你可以說，這些Sargent學者不是不受監督。
Sargent's periodicity
You may never know Sargent's "code", but may find out his periodicity in his fortune. By doing so you can say that those Sargent scholars are not free from oversight.

Matthew 7:8
For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened.

*黃金與天然氣水合物  “薩金特”的諧音是“砂金”中文。
比喻梵高的“可燃冰”一種天然氣水合物：它是由天然氣與水在高壓條件和低溫。它看起來像冰，可照亮了像固體酒精，因此得名“可燃冰”。

Gold vs. natural gas hydrate   By homonym, the word "Sargent" is "alluvial gold " in Chinese.
I liken Van Gogh to "combustible ice"--a kind of natural gas hydrate:It is formed by natural gas and water in conditions of high pressure and low temperature. It looks like ice and can be lit up like solid ethanol, hence the name "combustible ice".

* “阿舍爾.威特海默夫人”和漸

查看Sargent的"阿舍灣威特海默夫人"，可以涉及其處理的價值，尤其是從她的右手左手，以易經的卦漸。
卦53名為漸， “滲透” 。其他變化包括： “發展（循序漸進）"和“進步” 。其內在是☶ （艮根）約束= （山）山區，其外層是☴巽（巽勳）地面=（風）風。

" Mrs. Asher B. Wertheimer" and 漸

Viewing Sargent's Mrs. Asher B. Wertheimer , one can relates its handling of value, notably, from her right hand to left hand, to I-Ching's Hexagram 漸.
Hexagram 53 is named 漸 (jiàn), "Infiltrating". Other variations include "development (gradual progress)" and "advancement". Its inner trigram is ☶ (艮 gèn) bound = (山) mountain, and its outer trigram is ☴ (巽 xùn) ground = (風) wind.

* Did Sargent make a mouth wrong?

Although John Singer Sargent is a great artist and my favorite, I have a question about one of his masterpieces, "Portrait of Daughters of Mrs. and Mr. Asher Wertheimer"-- The mouth of the lady on the left looks awry. Can anyone help me on this issue?

薩金特作嘴錯了嗎？

雖然約翰.薩金特是一個偉大的藝術家，我最喜歡的，我有一個問題，他的傑作“肖像女兒和先生的夫人阿舍爾威特海默”夫人口的在左邊看起來出差錯。何人可以在這個問題上幫助我？
 
Steven.S. reply:

它似乎更發呆狀，或者“歪”。因為我看到了同樣的特性在姐姐的嘴，我樂意於認為這是一個家庭的特質。在我看來，捕捉它已借“個性”的畫像。很難在看這些表情，而不去疑惑這些婦女在想什麼。

It seems more bemused, or "wry," than "awry" to me. Because I see the same quality in the sister's mouth, I'm happy to assume that it's a family trait. And it seems to me that capturing it has lent "personality" to the portrait. It's difficult to look at these expressions and not wonder what these women are thinking.
