00:03 Sargent was an extraordinarily gifted painter and artist.

00:12 Sargent looked deeply at people, what

00:14 was communicated by their costume and their pose.

00:17 The way that light falls on fabric and the textures

00:20 and silhouettes that clothing makes.

00:23 He gave us a visual language that we hadn't seen before.

00:26 A shy, retiring workaholic man who

00:29 had a taste for scandals, for edginess, for theatricality.

00:33 And I think the connection to fashion is genius.

00:36 He's so colorful.

00:38 And what he does with paint is so amazing.

00:44 In Sargent's time, fashion is showmanship, opulence,

00:53 and embroidery, and embellishment.

00:56 There's a really close weave between identity and memory

00:58 and the ways that clothes provoke both.

01:04 Sargent is such a great articulator of beauty.

01:08 And it's the fantasy of it.
