An astounding speaker, Richard Ormond is of the "Old School" and speaks English as it should be spoken; he enunciates each word only as an actor would: an ideal candidate for a lecture! And so knowledgeable---he throws light on Sargeant and puts his paintings 'into context'. The audiance was very fortunate to lisen to this master of oratory and erudition! Grazie mille!!!
What an incredible lecture. It's things like THIS that make up for the nastiness of the internet. Thank you so much for making this available to us all.
Richard Ormond's lectures on Sargent are the best online. Brilliantly insightful, rich in first-hand knowledge of his subject, witty and completely engaging. There is no one else even, "in the ballpark."
Very good speaker . There seems to be a spontaneous element about Sargent’s work as it is boldly done and thought about with the preparations of drawings and having to fit the composition according to the picture he had imagined. He had the skill to do the painting and done it well.
Christine, I can't find the words to thank you enough for having shared this amazing lecture on TH-cam !!! What a great job you've made, thanks for adding the images Richard Louis Ormond referred to, bravo !!!!
If it helps at all at this late date, there are two charcoal portraits in the collection of the Boston Athenaeum, as well as two oil portraits, one glorious and one utterly boring.
A lecture of one of the most revered artists ever to pick up a brush, punctuated by an ad for poop. Congrats on the art of mixing subtlety with greed. Can you not edit your adverts please?
Very interesting video, a huge screen showing everything and then pictures of something completely different over the original footage, imagine you watch "Titanic" and then pictures of smth different can be seen 3/4 of the screen. Absolute idiotic.

Amazing lecture, thank you so very much. You brought Sargent to life. Such an awe inspiring artist, and man.
Great survey from a uniquely informed authority. Among many other things, Sargent's career makes one feel small.

There's a charcoal portrait in Longwood Gardens in PA. I have been admiring it for years.

Amazing painter. Shame he mumbled a lot.
@@DavidVegaBurgos wow!!! Didn't know that.
If i would really have to care about a sargent painting, then i def. would say: "This thing goes nowhere".
