Who caught the John Singer Sargent cameo on The Gilded Age this week? 🙋 Sargent was one of the most in-demand portrait artists of the era, flooded with commissions by the rich and fashionable in the US and abroad. He was a superstar, and he was sick of it. Sargent grew tired of catering to high-society demands. He felt portrait work was limiting his creativity. So eventually, he had enough. He announced he was “shutting up shop in the portrait line” and began traveling the world to paint landscapes instead. Just a reminder—life’s too short. Do what brings you joy. #ArtUncovered . . . . #art #sargent #history #gildedage #usa #painting #tv #life #inspiration #passion #happiness #explore #explorepage
