I Sing the Body Electric

Thanks to Ken Jost for flagging Holland Cotter's commentary, "John Singer Sargent's Drawings Bring His Model Out of the Shadows," in the May 7 New York Times. It's an essay, rather than a review, since the show he writes about is at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, which remains on lockdown, but the site offers some highlights in a short video.  The Gardner has extended the exhibition, "Boston's Apollo: Thomas McKeller and John Singer Sargent" (which opened in February), through September--so perhaps some of you will get to see it in person. (I'll content myself with the video and the handsome catalog, which I just ordered.)
