KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: Sargent and Fashion at Tate Britain

Passcode: 978973
Join me for a look at one of this season's most sumptuous shows.
from Tate Gallery website:
"Celebrated for his striking portrait paintings, this exhibition sheds new light on John Singer Sargent’s acclaimed works. It explores how he worked like a stylist to craft the image of the sitters he painted, who he often had close relationships with.
Sargent used fashion as a powerful tool to express identity and personality. He regularly chose the outfits of his collaborators or manipulated their clothing.
Almost 60 of Sargent’s paintings are on display, including major portraits that rarely travel. Several period garments are also showcased alongside the portraits they were worn in. The show examines how this remarkable painter used fashion to create portraits of the time, which still captivate today"

a recording will be available for 7 days for those unable to attend in real time.
