Watch an illustrated lecture by Erica Hirshler, Croll Senior Curator of American Paintings, MFA Boston as she explores John Singer Sargent's numerous portrayals of Jewish sitters, contextualizing their artistic achievement and exploring the critical response they received. From his electric portrayals of members of the Wertheimer family to his debonair portrait of Philip Sassoon included in the Jewish Museum's exhibition, "The Sassoons," Sargent's work reveals an aesthetic agenda intertwined with issues of nationality, heritage, and aspiration.

When will art critics realize that we don’t care what they think?

This is such an unexpected comment on a video of such a thoughtful lecture that is about, ironically, how critics, and by extension the audience of the work, takes the work in a very different direction than what the artists and their subjects may have intended. Maybe that's what you meant? Erica Hirshler is a treasure and this lecture was excellent.

@@t3dro I deleted my reply because you said it better than I could. It is sad when people take their criticism of modern art into the world of Sargent.

I'm sick of hearing it. Just give me the art.

Unbelievable; what's supposed to have been in any way special or particularly noteworthy about the fact that some his sitters were Jewish ? Nothing, nothing at all.
