John Singer Sargent was a master of portraiture - and not just in his faces

John Singer Sargent was just 18 when he arrived in Paris in 1874. In the ensuing decade, he would not only launch his career as a painter, exhibiting and earning accolades at multipleĀ salons, but also embark on travels that would permanently inflect his practice and establish the connections that would fund his work, including upper-crust socialites, athletes, and financiers; writers like Henry James; and artists like Monet, Renoir, and Rodin. Portraits of and by many of those very figures are on view inĀ ā€œSargent and Parisā€Ā at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Indeed, what comes through most strongly in this exhibition is his humanistic bent: Sargent loved people, and it shows.Ā

Another part of the scandal was that in the first version of the painting (initially titled 'Portrait of Madame Gautreau') her right shoulder strap had slipped. Sargent had to repaint that detail to appease (some of) the critics.

Yes! When I went to the Sargeant Ɨ Fashion exhibition at Tate Britain, I couldn't help staring at the hands. They're amazing. I took so many photos of them. There was this one huge painting of an older man with a single, arching white brushstroke as his shirt cuff. It was captivating.

The first time I saw "Madame X" was at the MET back in the 1970's. I was in my 20's and the painting was just hanging with artworks by other artists but somehow I could not take my eyes off the painting. The brushstrokes, her self confidence, all had me mesmerized. When I saw her again at the Sargent and Paris exhibition, the painting still took my breath away.

It was cool to see him integrated into the fiction of ā€œThe Guilder Age.ā€ I love seeing art in context!

This painting was RAKED by Parisian society to the point of Gautreau becoming a recluse and retreated from Parisian society for rest of her life due to the cr.u.el criticism of both the work AND her moral character. Previously she was a famous, beautiful Parisian socialite... And this painting (that she had to be begged and bribed to even pose for because she didn't want it created in the first place, and she certainly didn't want to pose for the dozens of long hours it took to capture her.) effectively ended the life she knew, and destroyed her reputation.

Sargent was forced to flee Paris, never to return, and lived the rest of his days in London. This painting effectively destroyed the lives of it's subject and creator.

It's completely tuined with the new painting.

I learned about it in a textbook, and apparently they had the original composition, 'cause thats all I remember.
Now it's looking like she wore an ill fitting gown.

If I recall learning: She wasn’t a model. She was a client. And it did ruin her reputation.
