BOSTON APOLLO (C) 2022 1W 3M
John Singer Sargent (1856 – 1925), the most successful portrait painter
of his era, lays bare his thorny relationships with models Thomas
McKeller, Wilhelm Kamp & patroness Isabella Stewart Gardner while
desperately seeking non-portraiture as his legacy.
McKeller became Sargent’s most \”useful\” life drawing model, standing in
for men, women, the politically powerful, all forms of gods, goddesses
and white people. The portrait of a totally uncovered Thomas McKeller,
was only displayed \”discretely & infrequently\” to Sargent’s closest
friends, never publicly during Sargent’s lifetime. It was \”unseen\” for
nearly 100 years finally exhibited in 2020 at Boston’s Gardner Museum.
Combining spoken text, life drawing, immersive imagery, and historical
fact & fiction, BOSTON APOLLO invites you, to meet the artist, his
patroness and his most “useful” models.
