John Singer Sargent

[marginallymental]

I heard that Sargent's now being re-evaluated today. Reevaluated?! He was NEVER wrong. Take 2:02 min, for instance: the Sitwells. Edith, despising her vapid mother and stupid father, dressed difiantly in blood red: Sargent lets her get away with it, sympathetically painting Edith, who recalled she stood rigid, "white with fury", while her mother limply arranged flowers in, mystifyingly, a ball gown. Look at little Osbert and Sacheverell, dwarfed by their parents' egotism. Sargent GOT IT.

beautiful choice of his works, make me think this: do we watch his figures in the portraits or are they carefully watching us? i love the light game in his paintings. it brings the atmosphere of the times he made them, a touchable insight of THEN to be felt by the viewers.

Look and listen, everyone in these paintings had the day, and their time, they must of lived amazing lives at times in the spaces of everyday moments. Sargent siezed his day as did he capture the human condition and thus hands them to everyone who follows.

Sargent's sex life "was notorious in Paris, and in Venice, positively scandalous. He was a frenzied bugger." -- Jacques-Émile Blanche (1861-1942)

Beautiful video. Sargent was an amazing painter. Maybe I love his art so much because I love the time period in which he painted. Such a beautiful, romantic time. At least in my mind. The music is as beautiful as the art.

Gorgeous montage! So many paintings I'd never seen before. Applause all around!

[fenimoreartmuseum]

[maimrozek]

Nice. Pure brilliance. You do such a wonderful job matching this music with the soul of the paintings.

I enjoy your vid´s. Thanks so much!

[ingareinar007]

American impressionist, and a great one.

[yurivic]

He's not an impressionest. Never joined the movement.

[ingareinar007]

He is not absolutely typichal impressionistic, but he used the technique of that style. Thats bechause normally impressionists more "catched the moments". Sargents motives was more "constructed" or "still". The impressionism came largely out of the technichal advances that came at that time. Photography (catching moments), colour theory, tube-colours (to be able to paint outside "quickly" with no assistents..

He is even in books about American impressionists..

[franciscoquesadamata]

io ho visitato due grandi exposizione de questo atrista, Sargent-Sorolla a Madrid e Sargent a Venice nel Museo Correr a Venezia, desidero que questo artista e el piu grande artista americano.
