"From 1874 to 1882, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) produced more than 200 paintings and water-colours aside from portraiture that chart his development as an artist.

Andy Warhol's Screen Tests show a conceptual portrait of a New York era--the complex, interconnected avant-garde art world of the mid-1960s. They also offer a reflected portrait of Warhol himself--his friendships and connections, his egalitarianism and his ambition, his fascinations with personality and the human face, his eye for talent and beauty, his mastery of the photographic, cinematic image.
