Erica Hirshler: Looking at John Singer Sargent

[@timothygibson2056]

A tour de force with the painting and the vases together. A must see in any visit to Boston. Miss Hirsler's presentation was excellent, with a command of the subject matter and the cadence in bringing the viewer/listener into the time frame of the subject.

Fascinating indeed. Need some more time to digest it all and will come back at it at a later time, when I have watched it one or two times more. I am a fan of Finger Sargent myself. Congratulations on the fluid presentation!

Thank you for a fabulous presentation! From a non-professional, the Boit picture’s compositional “Urlinie” seemingly also evokes Degas-the green curve from the vases through the rug, the opposing white curve, the not-so-subtle correspondences between the girls and various of his ballerina renderings-to me, quite as much as of Velasquez. Would that have been intentional, do you think?

Fabulous presentation.

On Madame X her response to why did he repaint the shoulder strap is "Honestly he was embarrassed" not backed up, not cited, while I admire her knowledge overall Im not convinced, especially when we now know what a scandal it caused such so that he moved to England...

A lot of people on here who seem to know more than the scholar and her extensive research! Personally I wouldn'tt have the temerity to be so presumptuous. I listened to learn.

Arts lecture should never be personal but do diligent research to present facts and let the audience to have their own interpretation

[@derblae52]

Decent presentation except my personal peeve with the lecturer's pronunciation of Velasquez.

[@kirstycollins4237]

Great! Very informative.

This should be named "Looking at the Boit Family"

6.36 for those who like to skip tedious intros.

I do like to know something about the presenter and it also is interesting to find out what the art community is up to.

great presentation, however i feel as if her narrative voice is rather mechanical
