Novelist Henry James and the Paintings of John Singer Sargent

In 1887 novelist Henry James wrote a fascinating, insightful and vastly influential article for Harpers Weekly discussing the paintings of his close friend John Singer Sargent. James, who was enthralled by painting and sculpture throughout his life, often wrote about painters or sculptors or individual works of art in his fiction. His discussion of John Singer Sargent is beautifully written and brings the heart of Sargent's work and artistic goals vividly alive with a level of insight and expertise that make his Harpers Monthly article one of the best essays on art ever. The influence of James's writing on Sargent and Sargent's painting on James is endlessly fascinating and the depth and subtlety of that relationship comes alive in James's brilliant essay;. This is the first in a series of videos on the life and work of Henry James. Warm thanks to Noel Treacy for the use of several of his striking images of a recent Exhibition of John Singer Sargent and fashion. https://www.flickr.com/photos/alias-a...
