Modern Voices, Modern Women – New Series with Rena Tobey!

John Singer Sargent

John Singer Sargent was influenced by Whistler, as was every western artist working at the time, both aesthetically and in the quest for independence. A master of languages and a charmer to boot, Sargent’s temperament helped him more easily make his mark. When scandal did erupt, nearly ending his career, a re-energized artist emerged to become the artist of the Gilded Age.
