John Singer Sargent: Fashion and Swagger

Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What happens when you turn yourself over to the hands of a great artist? John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention, and explores his powerful influence on modern art, fashion and culture. The manufacturing of public image is as controversial today as it was at the turn of the 20th century but somehow Sargent’s work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke.
