John Singer Sargent is one of my favorite American painters. (In fact, he is one of what I call "The Great American Triumvirate" which consists of
Winslow Homer,
Thomas Eakins and
John Singer Sargent.) I thoroughly enjoyed the show
Fashioned by Sargent, which is at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston MA.
We were there at 11 AM on a Friday, and the gallery was full.
I love painting, and I love the way Sargent handles paint.
The clothes were a big focus of the show, but Sargent was a hell of a portrait painter. This is a closeup.
My favorite painting in the show is the famous Lady Agnew.
