A Friends of Kenwood Sunday lecture given by Dr James Finch.

Sargent and Fashion at Tate Britain (22 Feb – 7 July 2024) organised in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, is the first exhibition to investigate the fascination with clothing and fashion which runs through the work of John Singer Sargent. By including a number of garments and accessories worn in Sargent’s paintings alongside the portraits in which they appear, the exhibition provides a new perspective on Sargent’s working process, and the distinctive painterly vision which made him the leading portraitist of his day. The lecture examines the key themes underpinning the exhibition and provides an insight into its preparation and evolution.

Dr James Finch is a curator and art historian specialising in British art of the 19th and 20th centuries. He is currently Assistant Curator, 19th Century British Art at Tate Britain where he has worked on several exhibitions and displays, including Turner’s Modern World and The Rossettis. Prior to joining Tate, James Finch was Curatorial Assistant at the Royal Academy of Arts, and undertook his doctorate as a partnership between the University of Kent and Tate. He has published widely on 19th and 20th century art.
