Henry Cabot Lodge 1890 |
Lodge began
his career in Congress in 1887, armed with all the confidence that his
distinguished New England ancestry, Harvard education, and wide circle of
influential friends could bestow. A power in the Senate and in the Republican
Party, he was noted for his scorn of the alliance between big business and
corrupt politicians. Close friends... | GA | igrkio | |
La Carmencita 1890 Musee d'Orsay Paris, France |
Carmencita
was apparently an very interesting and colorful character, a highly spirited
Spanish Gypsy Dancer who performed all over Europe and on the east coast of the
United States. Sargent had first met her in 1889 in Paris. When he sees her
again, this time in New York, he talks her into letting him paint her. She
turned out to be a very... | GA | igrkio | |

Homer Saint-Gaudens and his Mother 1890 |
Painted in
a barrowed studio in New York on twenty-third street and Lexington Avenue, this
portrait was done in exchange for the sculpted bronze that Saint-Gaudens was
doing of John's sister. The two friends took great pleasure in each of their
assignments.
The unusual
arrangement here begs only one explanation. Though it's not really explained... | GA | igrkio | |

Sally Fairchild with Blue Veil 1890 |
This
painting is one of many which sargent
painting of Sally Fairchild. this one is so
wonderfully mysterious with the veil over her face. John was on very good terms
with her parents and felt no restraints about being creative. He had known the
family at least since 1887 when he did his first flurry of American paintings
in the United States.... | GA | igrkio | |

This guy is
a real interesting and eccentric character. He was a supporter of Sargent and commissioned a number of portraits, this being
one of them. In many ways George Vanderbilt defined his generation of what Mark
Twain would call the Gilded Age.
From his
inheritance from his parents he would set out to build the largest private home
