Detroit Jewish Book Fair and Detroit Institute of Arts

Conversation with Ben Coleman

In Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers, the American biographer Jean Strouse captures the dramas, mysteries, intrigues, and tragedies surrounding John Singer Sargent’s portraits of the Wertheimer family.  Her book looks at the twelve paintings of this Anglo-Jewish family done by the expatriate American artist at the height of his career—and at the intersections of all these lives with the sparkle and strife of the Edwardian age. Strouse will be in conversation with Ben Colman, DIA Associate Curator for American Art.
