[cany10011]

Not sure if this is the right place in the forum, but i think this is a beautiful exhibit and of how Singer Sargeant paid recognition to his relationship with his Black muse. Long video: https://www.gardnermuseum.org/calendar/exhibition/bostons-apollo#gref , but the NYT article is here: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/09/arts/john-singer-sargent-secret-muse.html

Is Sargeant gay?

Should I know who Singer Sargeant is? I'll look him up. But as of now, unless reading something jogs a memory, I got bupkiss.

Addendum: After reading about him, I have heard of him before-mea culpa. He wasn't a memory I could easily recall without a bit of jogging.

It seems so...though he was also married... not an uncommon thing in those days.

Sorry.. he‘s an american portrait painter... well known for his etheral quick brush strokes and depictions of high society. If you are in the New York area, there are great paintings of his at the Met (Madam X), Philadelphia‘s museum of art (In the Luxembourg Gardens) and also Boston’s MFA (Daughters of Edward Boit). All quite recognizable.
