Fashioned by Sargent: an interview with Dr. Erica Hirshler, part 1
All this week, Dr. Erica Hirshler joins us to talk about the sartorial stylings of one of history's great painters of fashion, John Singer Sargent. In part one of this two-part episode, we learn a bit about Sargent's international upbringing and career as well as his sometimes dictatorial role in styling his sitters. The exhibition Fashioned by Sargent is currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston through January 15, 2024.Recommended reading: Hirshler, Erica, et al eds. Fashioned by Sargent.
