Every Stroke Telling: Sargent and Gilded Age Portraiture
@ The Richard H. Driehaus Museum
40 E Erie St, Chicago, IL 60611
Opening Tuesday, November 13th, from 6PM - 7:30PM
One of the most celebrated painters of the Gilded Age, John Singer Sargent was best known for his oil portraits, whose bravura brushwork, grandeur, and vibrancy proved immensely appealing to sitters of affluence among the era’s social and cultural set. This lecture explores Sargent’s talents as a storyteller of the brush, focusing on how the artist’s many riveting likenesses both drew from the past and pushed painting in new directions at the turn of the twentieth century.
