Sargent: Portraits of Artists and Friends

July 6, 2015

Throughout his career, John Singer Sargent created portraits of artists, writers, actors, and musicians, many of whom were his close friends. Because these works were rarely commissioned, he was free to create images that were more radical than those he made for paying clients. The exhibit brings together about 90 of these distinctive portraits, including numerous loans from private collections.

The exhibit will run from June 30 - October 4, 2015 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art - 1000 Fifth Avenue (at 82nd Street), New York, NY 10028.

The Representational Art Conference 2015

July 2, 2015




The Representational Art Conference 2015 (TRAC2015) is the premier international art conference focused on the philosophical underpinnings of representational art in the 21st Century. This year TRAC will explore the roots and principles of representation as they emerge after postmodernity. What are its guiding principles? Are there aesthetic themes that connect works of representational art?

TRAC provides a platform for discussion. It does not aspire to establishing a single monolithic aesthetic for representational art, but to identify commonalities, to help to understand the unique possibilities of representational art, and perhaps provide some illumination about future directions.

TRAC 2015 will take place at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach - 450 East Harbor Blvd., Ventura, CA 93001 from November 1 - 4, 2015.
