Description
The coat is the picture. John Singer Sargent's sitters were often dressed in the latest fashion, but he used clothing to create more than just flattering likenesses. By choosing what his sitters wore, pinning garments, or draping fabric around them, Sargent incorporated fashion into his art. This publication offers a fresh perspective on Sargent's life and work, exploring the relationship between painting and dress, gender expression, and the excitement of new ideas. With contributions from leading thinkers and lavish reproductions of major portraits and exquisite costumes, it provides a unique insight into the world of one of the most famous artists of all time. Through its pages, Sargent and Fashion reveals the dynamic connection between art and fashion, and how Sargent's own artistic vision was shaped by his understanding of the world around him.
