The Most Beautiful Exhibition Up Now In The City
2 Images from the Sargent exhibition. 90 works many are monumental in
size, but many of my favorites were not included. Sargent painted the
rich and famous of his day, which some might find distasteful, after all
these were very privileged people, but so what, there are many artists
who to this day are painting the rich and famous and not nearly as
compelling as Sargent's. Do you want a list? Then there are his
paintings of children which are superb, has an artist ever painted
children as breathtaking as his? There are some watercolors small and
homoerotic in the last gallery and then there are those rumors about his
sexuality which add a nice dose of spice to his long and magnificent
career. The Metropolitan Museum through Oct. 4th.
