  A Brush with John Singer Sargent | Timothy Sandefur

  Oct 2, 20261h 6m

  At the dawn of the 20th century, John Singer Sargent was among the world's most admired painters. The most sought-after portraitist in Europe and America, he painted such renowned figures as Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry James and set a new standard for elegance. Yet he was also a cutting-edge innovator whose painting Madame X sparked a national scandal when it was displayed in Paris. Within a few years of his death, however, leading intellectuals had come to view Sargent as a contemptible relic of an unsophisticated age. In this presentation, Timothy Sandefur will take a new look at Sargent's art and discuss why Sargent came to be despised for his virtues—and why his art is experiencing a long-overdue revival today.
