Beautiful FACES

The portrait artist John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) wrote, “I do not judge, I only chronicle.” Yet, he wasn’t above being provocative, painting a portrait of Isabella Stew art Gardiner that her husband wouldn’t allow to be shown publicly while he was alive, and painting a portrait of a Parisian socialite for the 1884 Salon that set Parisians on their ear.

The VALUE and IMPACT of the Portrait Society of America
