The Life of Artist John Singer Sargent

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Dec 1, 2022

Artist John Singer Sargent is one of the most celebrated American portraitists. But though in his private life he seemed a bit uptight, his work scandalized audiences wherever he went for their risqué themes and sympathy for marginalized groups. A new biography from Paul Fisher, The Grand Affair: John Singer Sargent in His World, explores the life of the artist.
