- In conjunction with Joaquín Sorolla and Esteban Vicente: In the Light of the Garden, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator Alicia G. Longwell is joined by artist and lecturer Neill Slaughter, as he delves deeper into the connections of John Singer Sargent, Joaquín Sorolla, and Anders Zorn. Slaughter, artist and professor emeritus at Long Island University, earned an MFA from Indiana University in Drawing and Painting, and taught at the university level for 38 years. Slaughter has spent a considerable amount of time traveling throughout the world to teach, conduct research and create art. His extensive travels have influenced what he paints, which often reflect the social conditions of his surroundings.
Slaughter offers a well-versed perspective on artists such as John Singer Sargent, Joaquín Sorolla, and Anders Zorn. Among other awards and honors, Slaughter has received a Ford Foundation Fellowship, a Scottish Arts Council Grant, an LMU Research Grant to Africa and a Fulbright Fellowship to India. In 2003 he was presented the David Newton Award for Excellence in Teaching granted by Long Island University and in 2008 he mounted a thirty-year retrospective, which included a full color catalogue.
In the Light of the Garden is presented in collaboration with the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Esteban Vicente in Segovia, Ana Doldán de Cáceres,Director and Museo Sorolla, Madrid. The presentation at the Parrish Art Museum, is organized by Alicia G. Longwell, Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator, Art and Education, and is supported by the Harriet and Esteban Vicente Foundation.
Another interesting note is Velasquez is the innovator and originator of the ultimate painting styles the trio incorporated and made famous. Few people put this fact together.
Velasquez had so many requests to paint. Mainly, the king ( Louis) at the time, he need to “ shortcut” his technique. As a result he painted “ impressionistically” or loosely if you will, to complete the works. Plus he realized the paintings would be viewed from above at twelve to fifteen feet away from the viewer. At that distance details could be “ indicated” and still seem finely painted.
The fact that Sargent and Sorrola copied Las Maninas shows his interest. Study the portraits of Velasquez and see the comparisons.
The three Musketeers. The magnificent trio. Aptly, The Triumphant triad indeed. My all time favorite painters who changed painting.
It is an artists job in portraiture to “ improve and enhance the subject. No model wants to see themselves” as they are”. Sargent was brilliant at this.
At the outset You mistakenly said “ El Jaleo by Sorrola. It was painted by John Sargent
Many wrongly assume the finished painting one sees was painted “ on the spot” so to speak. Most great artist did many drawings and paint studies to work out composition and construction before the final work. Especially multi figures outdoors.
Also there is documentation that Sorrola when painting children at the seashore would ‘change out’ a waterlogged child with another when necessary.
The Creme de la Creme … the real deals.

Shows himself mostly. Some small bad reproductions. Ego first. Too bad.
What?? Are you saying that the paintings should be shown instead of the speaker? I agree.
