John Singer Sargent was an American artist who spent most of his life in Europe. He painted two U.S. presidents, the aristocracy of Europe, the uber-wealthy of America and mythological heroes. He immortalized business tycoons and the avatars of modern culture. But he also painted gypsies, tramps, street children, hard-working laborers and the horrors of war. And he created dazzling landscapes – a visual chronicle of the places he visited. This talk requires two parts to adequately convey the breadth and depth of Sargent’s prodigious and masterful output. The Met is having a large exhibition of his work from April 21 - August 3. Sponsored by the Van Winkle Foundation.
