Ep. 233 - Erica Hirshler: Fashion by Sargent

Historical Fine Art - On this episode we have Erica Hirshler, exhibition curator and Croll Senior Curator of American Paintings from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston! Erica talks with us about Fashion by Sargent, a current exhibition held at MFA Boston running through January 15, 2024. The exhibit features 50 paintings by legendary American artist John Singer Sargent paired with period piece garments that he brings to life in his portraits. We talk about the innovation of the show and how it captures the essence of Sargent's work and explores how he influenced his sitters and society of that time.
