John Singer Sargent quit portrait painting at the peak of his success.
Tired of painting for wealthy clients, he walked away in his 50s to travel the world and paint the landscapes he loved.
Quitting gave him the freedom to do his best work.
@matdryhurst@simondlr Interesting. In order to qualify myself within your value structure, Iโll admit that I spent 10 years of my life studying only โseriousโ classical music composition.
John Williams really is that good.
