John Singer Sargent: An American In Worcestershire

Until Sun 14 Jun View Venues, Dates & Times

One of the most celebrated portrait painters of his time, American artist John Singer Sargent was a familiar figure in Worcestershire in the late 19th century. During his time in the county, he broke free from the conventions of Salon-style studio painting to experiment with Impressionism and work ‘en plein air’. In the process, he produced one of his most famous works, Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose, which now resides at Tate Britain.

This new exhibition explores the role of Sargent within the colony of avant-garde artists associated with the Worcestershire village of Broadway.
