In this seductive, multilayered biography, based on original letters and diaries, Donna M. Lucey illuminates four extraordinary women painted by the iconic high-society portraitist John Singer Sargent. With uncanny intuition, Sargent hinted at the mysteries and passions that unfolded in his subjects lives.Elsie Palmer traveled between her fathers Rocky Mountain castle and the medieval English manor house where her mother took refuge, surrounded by artists, writers, and actors. Elsie hid labyrinthine passions, including her love for a man who would betray her. As the veiled Sally Fairchildbeautiful and commandingemerged on Sargents canvas, the power of his artistry lured her sister, Lucia, into a Bohemian life. The saintly Elizabeth Chanler embarked on a surreptitious love affair with her best friends husband. And the iron-willed Isabella Stewart Gardner scandalized Boston society and became Sargents greatest patron and friend.Like characters in an Edith Wharton novel, these women challenged societys restrictions, risking public shame and ostracism. All had forbidden love affairs; Lucia bravely supported her family despite illness, while Elsie explored Spiritualism, defying her overbearing father. Finally, the headstrong Isabella outmaneuvered the richest plutocrats on the planet to create her own magnificent art museum.These compelling stories of female courage connect our past with our presentand remind us that while women live differently now, they still face obstacles to attaining full equality.

A most interesting perspective into the art and times of one man

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 ottobre 2022

Acquisto verificato

By not focusing directly on Sargent's life and work, but instead following the lives of 4 of the women who sat for him gives you a perspective into the world in which he worked that I'm not sure you could really get in any other way. Seeing how these women lived, how they intersected with him and his life, gives you a unique angle on his work that I personally had never had.

It was such a good book, I shared it with my mother who enjoyed it as well. I expect I'll re-read it again in the next year which is a testament to how well written it is.

Entertaining but limited

Recensito in Canada il 30 agosto 2019

An entertaining read, but jarringly tone-deaf about the obvious outlandish privilege and exploitative qualities of some of the people it describes. A useful insight into Sargent and part of his era.

Such an interesting book !

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 1 febbraio 2018

Acquisto verificato

I feel I must let potential readers of this book know how much I enjoyed it. When I first spotted the title with a rather gloomy review I think it must have referred to the dark cover only as the inside is full of light.

Not at all gloomy, this book paints the historical backgrounds of these 4 interesting female sitters from rich families...where and how they lived, together with some colourful information about Sargent's life...finishing with the well-travelled, glamorous and acquisitive Isabelle Stewart Gardner whose electic museum I so much admired on a longago trip to Boston - as it says in the book the very opposite to the J P Morgan library in New York - also a haven of art.

I am inspired to make another US trip to visit some of these women's haunts. Bravo Donna Lucey - a great book !

John Singer Sargent and his ladies...

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 agosto 2017

Acquisto verificato

Have you ever looked at a portrait and wondered who the person was and what their life was like? Had they been chosen as a subject to pose for the artist or had they chosen the artist to portray them? Was the portrait done because the subject was famous or the artist was? A portrait can bring so many questions to mind about both the subject and the artist. Portraits are - hands down - my absolute favorite art. (You can keep your French haystacks; give me an interesting face any old time!)

Donna Lucey has written "Sargent's Women: Four Lives Behind the Canvas". She delves into the lives of four women - all painted first around the 1890's - who were either painted by John Singer Sargent or - in one case - had a sister who was. Lucey - who has written about the Gilded Age both in the US and the UK in previous books - chose four women out of the many painted by Sargent in his long career. My minor problem with the book is the choice of the four women she chose to write about. All four were similar - wealthy young women from prominent American families who were as at home in English high society as they were in the rarefied air of Boston and New York City. (Though Lucey does point out the amusing differences between the two American cities.)

It would be helpful if the reader has some knowledge of the artist John Singer Sargent - American-born, British-bred - and the times he painted in. Photographic portraits had begun to be popular by the 1880's, but painted portraits still reigned as the popular method for preserving the subject forever in art. Sargent was hired by many prominent families at the time to paint themselves and their children. Some subjects - Isabella Stewart Gardner, for instance - were painted more than once in their lifetimes. Sargent painted other subjects but he was most famous for his portraits.

Donna Lucey does a good job at looking at the lives - most led somewhat restricted lives because of their gender, their familial circumstances, or their health. Two gained fame due to artistic endeavors - one collected art and the other was a painter of miniatures - while the other two lived quieter lives. John Singer Sargent had a tenuous connection with a couple of the women; his having painted their portraits seemed to be the only link. With the two others, he was a bit more in their lives. As I was reading Lucey's book, however, I couldn't help but wish that she had maybe chosen someone other than Isabella Stewart Gardner to highlight. Her life story is pretty well known. I'd have liked to have read about a woman, who like the previous three, were not well-known. But, okay, here's the thing. The author has the right to choose who she wants to write about. Just like a portrait artist has the right to paint whoever he chooses - financial considerations aside. And Donna Lucey has written a good book about the lives behind the canvas.

Entertaining and enlightening history at its best

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 settembre 2017

Acquisto verificato

Sargent's Women is a beautifully written account, proving once again that sound history can be written engagingly for a lay audience without sacrificing scholarly integrity. This is popular history at its best. One would not have thought it a reasonable strategy to choose only four of Sargent's myriad women to tell such a riveting story of art and high society in both Gilded Age America and late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. But Donna Lucey chose her women carefully. She has tied many disparate lives together in a compelling story. Some might think she engages too much in name dropping. But how would it be possible to write on her subject without tripping over all the well-known names of robber barons, artists, and society and literary figures on both sides of the Atlantic? At first I thought Sargent would only play a minor role, but it became apparent that he was ever-present as the connective tissue of Lucey's narrative. And what a brilliant stroke to choose as the final woman the irrepressible Isabella Stewart Gardner, who scandalized Boston and forced it by the power of her collecting originality to bow to her genius in bringing together such a unique assemblage of painting, sculpture, and decorative art. As a fellow historian and writer, I say kudos to Donna Lucey for a splendid book.
