Sargent’s Circle of Friends – Performers and Patrons

Throughout his career, John Singer Sargent created portraits of the most influential artists, writers, actors, dancers, and musicians of the era, many of whom were close friends. Brilliant works of art and penetrating character studies, these portraits—often highly charged, intimate, witty, idiosyncratic, and experimental—are also records of relationships, influences, aspirations, and allegiances. These lectures explore the underlying friendships between Sargent and his artistic sitters, and consider their significance for his life and art.

With:

Elizabeth Mankin Kornhauser, Alice Pratt Brown Curator of American Paintings and Sculpture, The American Wing, MMA
Stephanie L. Herdrich, Research Associate, The American Wing, MMA
