SUMMARY:Exhibition On Screen: John Singer Sargent
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition On Screen presents another stunning art documentary film! \nJohn Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era.

Alongside 50 paintings by Sargent sit stunning items of clothing and accessories worn by his subjects\, drawing the audience into the artist’s studio. \nThe perfect film to see after the fashionable red carpet of the MET Gala in NYC.
