Sargent and Fashion
In Sargent’s portraits, a coat or a sweep of fabric can determine the whole picture. Sargent and Fashion examines his active role in shaping what his sitters wore and how they appeared, showing how dress became part of his painterly vocabulary rather than simply a record of contemporary taste.
This exhibition catalogue brings reproductions of portraits into conversation with period clothing and scholarly essays. It considers performance, gender, identity and the negotiation between the sitter’s wishes and the artist’s own decisions. A rewarding choice for admirers of the Sargent work in our collection, it encourages closer looking at the brushwork, silhouettes and surfaces through which a portrait takes shape.
