He is a great artist but his work gives me the creeps. I don't like seeing art depicting people that are now dead hanging on walls Reminds me of Victorian post mortem photography. The eyes seem to follow you everywhere. Sargent however is far superior to The Baroque masters who are pretentious. Despite their ability to command a fortune at auction, Baroque painting are pretentious, just an artist thinking their ability to do art made them special. I prefer Sargent but what I find offensive are the females he painted. It is a reminder to modern people just how useless women used to be in bygone ages
very informative, thank you. What a hard working genius Sargent was
Outstanding biography. Thank you for sharing this.
