The other day I visited the exhibit “Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.It was my third visit to this extraordinary show, which focuses on the paintings John Singer Sargent made of his close circle of creative friends, many of whom were famous – Claude Monet, Henry James, Auguste Rodin, Gabriel Faure. Famous friends aside, what really makes this show special is that it’s so personal and intimate. Like a photo album painted by a master painter. If you’re in the New York City area don’t miss Sargent at the Met, through October 4th.
Looking at people, looking at art….
Oh Beverly… that is just wonderful. How I would have loved to have been in New York to visit this show with you!!!! And I love the title: Looking at people, looking at art. Brava!
Thank you Janet! It would have been so much fun to see this show together. Hopefully you’ll come to New York one of these days. In the meantime, I’m looking forward to seeing you in France very soon! xox B
