Okay so his portaits of people are my favorite! Pre-photography, portraits were mostly memetic, or life-like; you got a portrait because you wanted people to know what you look like (or maybe a little bit prettier).

But! Not Sargent’s portraits!! In his portraits, you often can’t even see the subject’s whole face, like in the 4th and 5th paintings above and in this one here (The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit (ID in alt text)):

A painting of four young girls spread around a room. The youngest sits on the floor with her doll, one of her sisters stand with her hands behind her back, and a third stands facing the viewer straight on. The fourth girl is leaning against a vase and her face can barely be seen.

Edward Darley Boit spent a lot of money to have his daughters painted, but I still have no idea what that girl leaning on the vase looks like! Despite that, I’ve learned things about her. Between her and her sisters, she’s probably the introvert: she’s hiding her face and wearing darker colors than her younger siblings. Almost certainly none of these girls enjoyed sitting for this painting, but she’s the only one who looks like she doesn’t even want to be there.

That’s what Sargent’s portraits do! They show you something about the personality of the subject(s), even though they don’t always show you what they look like. And on top of all that, the paintings are simply beautiful to look at!

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

new gender idea: guy who is super masculine and uses he/him pronouns, but every time someone acknowledges his gender or asks about it he switches to feminine presentation and she/her pronouns and refuses to acknowledge the change
