  Sargent's productivity is mind boggling, because he and his colleagues weren't confronted with all these useless distractions we hav to deal with almost every day! And in our time it is going to get even worse. "Every era has its own art" so while I and all the other current artists are being RAPED by A.I. I try my hardest to remain pure at heart ( my Art loving heart) And when I am able to sell my art I try to support the truth loving segment of our society under threat! Have a nice day every one!

  Great synopsis! I recently picked up a book " John S. Sargent-194 Master drawings" and it is epic! I think his use of middle tones is the magic of his art.

  A huge learning &nbsp;curve on the technique of linear shading of angles around a face. &nbsp;Reaching 75 yrs of age and just learning this technique has been invaluable. Thank you<br>Rose Dingwall

  Thank you for this wonderful presentation. &nbsp;Sargent&apos;s productivity is mind boggling, especially considering that his virtuosity &nbsp;remained consistent throughout his career.

  Thank you for this! But you really need to do another video on the crisis that the rejection of his magnificent Madam X portrait created in his life. <br>The hypocrisy of Parisian “High” society over a painting that depicted a fallen strap off the shoulder of the evening gown of a young, beautiful, proud and confident American woman was just too much for the French to bear. And its rejection was a devastating blow to both Sargent and the woman “Madam X”. <br>In short, Singer and his portrait career in France, was cancelled.<br>The money he had just spent on his new Parisian studio, all wasted, his future commissions, all evaporated, his future in French society was just completely gone.<br>His friend, in a letter, wrote that he was worried about Sargents mental health, when he dove into a rocky shoreline and hit his head on a rock. <br>Fortunately Sargent went back to England, and stayed with some friends, painted the local landscape and began that incredible painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily Rose.” <br>But that whole experience nearly wrecked him and is worthy of its own video.

  I can&apos;t get enough of these fabulous presentations by the Gammell Lack Institute of American Art. The commentary is precise, uncomplicated and the voice is so pleasant and easy to hear. The finest of art too.

  Am I losing my mind, or is the narrator’s accent go in and out from English to American?
