Unbelievable; what's supposed to have been in any way special or particularly noteworthy about the fact that some his sitters were Jewish ? Nothing, nothing at all.
This is such an unexpected comment on a video of such a thoughtful lecture that is about, ironically, how critics, and by extension the audience of the work, takes the work in a very different direction than what the artists and their subjects may have intended. Maybe that's what you meant? Erica Hirshler is a treasure and this lecture was excellent.

Thank you so much for a very interesting view on Sergeant’s portraits. When you find out a history of the painting, apply it to the historical time, skills and ideas of the painter, then you can really enjoy them deeply.

When will art critics realize that we don’t care what they think?

I'm sick of hearing it. Just give me the art.
