About the Item

Signed and dated verso: "Jorge R. Pombo / 20-4/6". Inscribed verso: "81 x 65 cms / Oil on linen and old Venetian fabrics". Titled verso: "Variation on Singer Sargent's 'The Daughters of Edward Darley Boit' (6)". JORGE POMBO'S - THOUGHTS ON SARGENT'S PAINTING In 1872 Claude Monet signed "Impression, sunrise", a painting that marked the beginning of a new attitude for the modern painters. Since then the search for stylistic novelty would be a constant; the sense that each brushstroke seems like we have never seen it before. The hush of photography precipitated that desire for improvement through those tools that painting had and that photography could not offer: uninhibited color, volume of brushstrokes, unrepeatable marks ... In 1882, John Singer Sargent already knew what was being done in Paris, and his response was "The daughters of Edward Boit", a large format group portrait that challenged the postulates of painters who wanted to be modern. His painting did not present anything groundbreaking, no brushstrokes that were not already in Velázquez, Tiziano or Manet, but he managed to charge it with an atavistic magic and presence. His painting is the confirmation that there is never only one way; that in art not everything begins and ends with novelty; that above experimentation is emotion. I first saw this painting in 2014, on my first visit to Boston. I'd seen it in photography before but hadn't paid much attention to it. However when I got to the MFA room where it is on display, I recognized it immediately, but it had nothing to do with recognizing the image that I had seen in photographs previously; it was a recognition similar to that of a loved one, of a passion already forgotten. That painting has the charisma and magnetism of great human beings, for whom their physical presence or looking into your eyes is enough to intimidate and disarm you. Since 2015 I have returned to Boston on four occasions and each and every one of them I have reserved a day to rediscover that painting. I don't know what I feel in front of her but I need to be in her presence. I have loved her very much but have seen her very seldom. It is very similar to an impossible love.
