Book Description Condition: NUOVO. Edited by Nathaniel Silver, Trevor Fairbrother, Paul Fisher, Nikki A. Greene, Erica E. Hirshler. In 1916, John Singer Sargent (1856&;1925) met Thomas Eugene McKeller (1890&;1962), a young African American elevator attendant, at Boston&;s Hotel Vendome. McKeller became the principal model for Sargent&;s murals in the new wing of the city&;s Museum of Fine Arts, among the painter&;s most ambitious works. Sargent&;s nude studies and sketches from this project attest to a close collaboration between the two men that unfolded over nearly ten years. Featuring drawings given by Sargent to Isabella Stewart Gardner and published in full for the first time, a portrait of McKeller, and archival materials reconstructing his life and relationship with Sargent, this book opens new avenues into artist-model relationships and transforms our understanding of Sargent&;s iconic American paintings. Essays offer the first biography of McKeller and a window onto African American life in early-20th-century Boston. They also address the artist&;s sexuality, his models, and questions of race and identity. cm.22,5x30, pp.256 ill.
