Exhibition On Screen: John Singer Sargent

Exhibition On Screen presents another stunning art documentary film! John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era. What made his ‘swagger’ portraits remarkable was his power over his sitters, what they wore and how they were presented to the audience. Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, Exhibition on Screen’s film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion. Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention. Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio. The perfect film to see after the fashionable red carpet of the MET Gala in NYC. Sponsored by the Friends of Franklin Park Arts Center. All are welcome for a post-film reception in the lobby. Runtime: 90 minutes Film:  5:00pm – 6:30 pm Reception:  6:30-7:00pm CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
