RESCHEDULED Art Film Screening: John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger

John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore, and how they were presented to the audience. This compelling documentary examines how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture, and fashion. Step into the glittering world of fashion, scandal, and shameless self-promotion that made John Singer Sargent the painter who defined an era. Film screening followed by a short illustrated comparison of Gari Melchers and John Singer Sargent.
