NOW OPEN—"John Singer Sargent and Chicago’s Gilded Age" TICKETS—http://bit.ly/2Ls8O1z | The Art Institute of Chicago

John Singer Sargent was one of the greatest portrait artists of his time. While he is best known for his powerful paintings, he largely ceased painting portraits in 1907 and turned instead to charcoal drawings to satisfy portrait commissions. These drawn portraits represent a substantial, yet often overlooked, part of his practice, and demonstrate the same sense of immediacy, psychological insight, and mastery of chiaroscuro that animate Sargent’s sitters on canvas. #johnsingersargent | John Sin
