Influence: John Singer Sargent (1856-1925)

"I have met this last week a young Mr.Sargent...one of the most talented fellows I have ever come across; his drawings are like the old masters, and his colour is equally fine...He speaks as well in French, German, Italian as does in English, has a fine ear for music, etc. Such men wake one up, and, as his principles are equal to his talents, I hope to have his friendship."

- Julian Alden Weir

That work is so powerful and emotive. That second piece in particular really speaks to me. Thank you so much for sharing these incredible pieces of art. Definitely the inspiration I needed today!

He's one of my favorites as well.chingu. The Metropolitan Museum of Art which is home to Sargent's famous portrait of Madame X (which I always make sure to stop and view whenever I go - it is exquisite!) hosted a special exhibition of his personal works a few years ago which gave me a whole new appreciation for his work.

I can't say I am familiar but I love the introduction. I also love the quote by Julian Alden Weir. It makes you think, how many individuals these days are praised or famed for such things? Or should I say artists in general. It's such a shame artists are not given the support or limelight as they should. Or perhaps like they had been given in the past.

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Some analogue love #2

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
