Encounter five exhibitions by four intriguing artists during "An American Season" at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The work of Maurice Prendergast, John Singer Sargent, Alice Neel, and Charles M. Russell comes together in a uniquely American gathering of paintings, drawings, sculptures, and more. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH) presents the exhibition Houston´s Sargents(Part of An American Season), on view Sunday, February 14 - Sunday, May 9, 2010 at the Audrey Jones Beck Building. 

Complementing the exhibition Sargent and the Sea, Houston's Sargents presents 30 works drawn from local private collections—and the museum´s own—offer a look at John Singer Sargent´s entire career. Along with New York and Boston, Houston is one of the three U.S. cities with the largest number of works by John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) in private collections. The exhibition Sargent and the Sea provides the perfect opportunity for the MFAH to present a complementary installation offering visitors a look at Sargent´s entire career. Houston´s Sargents showcases nearly 30 examples drawn from local private collections as well as the museum´s own.

Included are some of the artist´s finest accomplishments, from views of the Rockies, Cairo, and Venice to the beautiful society portraits for which he is so well known.
