John Singer Sargent (American, worked in UK and Europe, 1856-1925) In a Garden, Corfu • 1909
Detail
Photo credit: ©Pagan Sphinx Photography
Photo by me taken at The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's current exhibition, Fashioned by Sargent. A collection of gorgeous Sargent portraits and displays of attire worn by the subjects of those portraits, while also illuminating the ways in which fashion played a key role in his artistic process. Follow the link for the complete introductory exhibition text.
The label for this work:
Sargent's friend and fellow painter Jane de Glehn reads in the garden of the Villa Soteriotisa in Corfu, where she, her husband Wilfred, and other close friends were spending several weeks with Sargent and his sister Emily. The two other women beside her (look carefully in the corners) are both Eliza Wedgwood, giving us the hint that this entire composition is Sargent's invention. The stiff blue-white skirt that Jane wears was Sargent's-a studio prop. It was made of taffeta, described by Eliza as the color of a robin's egg, and completely out of fashion in 1909, when skirts were becoming slimmer and were usually made of softer fabrics. But Sargent preferred this full, stiff taffeta skirt which he could manipulate to create the deep valleys and folds of cloth he loved to paint.
