John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger
2024 1 hr 30 min
John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of the 19th century. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his wealthy sitters, what they wore, and how they were presented to the audience. Sargent’s work transcends the social noise and captures an alluring truth with each brush stroke. Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas, and style influencers, this documentary examines how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture, and fashion. Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London.
