Robert Brough by Francis Derwent Wood

Posted in Artists Portraying Artists by

[Robert] Brough’s life was cut short during a steep upward career trajectory; he was very much a rising art star, working alongside Sargent and having recently been made an associate of the Royal Scottish Academy.
There are 3 known full size versions [of this work]; National Gallery of Scotland, Aberdeen Art Gallery, and the third is believed to be in a private collection in the US.

In 1992, Kaku Hayashi was diagnosed with cancer; however, the tumour suddenly disappeared of its own accord. The experience affected her profoundly and she became concerned with the cycle of life and death and began making spherical ring pieces.

Auguste Rodin by John Singer Sargent

Posted in Artists Portraying Artists by

Sargent probably met renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) in Paris in the early 1880s. They continued to meet socially for several decades and later had patrons in common…By August 1884 Rodin was reportedly working on a bust of Sargent. It was probably not completed. ~ FROM https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/21396
