These are amazing! How have I never heard of him before now?
Cool thing about John Singer Sargent (1856-1925): he learned how to capture a woman's full and conscious intelligence in subtle painterly details.pic.twitter.com/bssicRRvn3

He fell out of favor when Modernism took over the art world, and rejected 19th c bourgeois art as oppressive and reactionary.

@elizpingree Is this that illustrator you said you liked? -
Yes he is my favorite artist. There is a rumor in my family that he sketched my great-grandmother when they were both expatriates in Europe.

You can pick out a Sargent painting by the photo realistic eyes.

Sargent's "The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit" is the finest example of Impressionist portraiture ever produced. When in Boston I try to make a pilgrimage to view it. There is always some subtle nuance that I had missed before.

You have a good eye and a fine aesthetic sensibility,
