If you missed this exhibit at the Chicago Art Institute, no worries. This lecture will cover everything that was included and more.
At the height of his career, John Singer Sargent’s skill as an artist made him a favorite portraitist in the Gilded Age. Yet early in his career, he sometimes stumbled as he tried to find the right balance between eye-catching images and a finish that appealed to his clients. We’ll follow Sargent from his student days in Paris to London where his charming manner and accomplished portraits allowed him to mingle comfortably with European nobility and America’s captains of industry. Co-sponsored by the Deerfield Fine Arts Commission. Presenter: Paula Wisotzki Register.
