“The series’ first new installment in eight years is a reliably funny, sweet and wonderfully realized passing of the torch, with a paw in the past and another into the future — an elegant goodbye and a hello.” – Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

“Exhibition on Screen: John Singer Sargent: Fashion & Swagger” - (NR; 90 minutes) - John Singer Sargent is known as the greatest portrait artist of his era.

Through interviews with curators, contemporary fashionistas and style influencers, EOS’s  film will examine how Sargent’s unique practice has influenced modern art, culture and fashion. Filmed at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Tate Britain, London, the exhibition reveals Sargent’s power to express distinctive personalities, power dynamics and gender identities during this fascinating period of cultural reinvention.  ONE SHOW ONLY Friday, April 19, 2:00 p.m.
