WDIY - ARTS SALON
Photographer Lydia Panas discusses her new exhibition, After Sargent
opening October 8 at Muhlenberg College. Panas has produced
a seemingly simple yet complex and evocative body of portraits
inspired by American portraitist John Singer Sargent (1856 - 1925),
particularly his well-known and beautifully ambiguous painting
The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit, 1882.
