John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) Elizabeth Chanler, 1893 oil on canvas, 49 3/8 x 40 1/2 inches National Museum of American Art, Washington, DC
John Singer Sargent said Elizabeth Chanler had the face of the Madonna and eyes of a child. She was the eldest child of the Chanler family and after the early death of her mother, she had the strength of character to raise three sisters and five brothers. She suffered from ill health and had a naturally serious and withdrawn temperament. Sargent painted the picture in the style of an old master and may have looked at Velazquez. I see a strong connection to the seated female portraits of Ingres with Sargent using a decorative pillow instead of shawl or dress. There is tension in Elizabeth Chanler’s pose. I changed her from a seated to standing position and I maintained the tension, especially in her hands. – K. Gilje
Kathleen Gilje, Elizabeth Chanler, Restored, 2007 oil on linen, 25 x 20 in.
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) Mrs. Robert Harrison, 1896 oil on canvas, 61 1/2 x 31 inches The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO
Mrs. Robert Harrison married a wealthy stockbroker and musical connoisseur. Sargent, who shared Robert Harrison’s enthusiasm for music, visited Shiplake Court in the summer of 1887 and painted scenes on the River Thames from a floating studio punt. This portrait, one of Sargent’s most beautiful early portraits, has an unusual color scheme, with its light yellow background, white dress and bright red overdress. Her head, turned to a three-quarter position, is almost in profile. I deepened the background color so the flesh tones would stand out, but kept the three-quarter position with her hands, slightly changed, still gently clasped below her waist. – K. Gilje
Kathleen Gilje, Mrs. Robert Harrison, Restored, 2007, oil on linen, 25 x 20 in.
John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) Mrs. Leopold Hirsch, 1902 oil on canvas, 57 x 36 1/2 inches Private Collection
Born Frances Mathilde Seligman, she was the daughter of Henry Seligman, who emigrated from Germany to America as a boy and established a merchant bank which became eminent in the United States with branches in London, Frankfort and Paris. In 1890, she married Leopold Hirsch and was a patroness of several fashionable artists. She also had her portrait painted by Antonio Mancini, which is today in a private collection. Sargent painted her standing, with arms dropped and hands clasped, wearing a coral gown in a Spanish style influenced by Velasquez. She looks straight out at the viewer in a relaxed manner. I crossed her arms in front of her breasts into a more contemporary pose and her expression changing into a more quizzical air. – K. Gilje
Kathleen Gilje, Mrs. Leopold Hirsch, Restored, 2007, oil on linen, 25 x 19 3/4 in.

Aaron Krach, Why are you leaving? Where are you going? Will you come back?, 2015 installation consisting of woodcuts, wall text, printed newspapers and painted coconuts
In January 2015, Paul Gauguin’s Nafea faa ipoipo (1892) sold for $300 million to an unidentified buyer in Qatar. After 98 years in the same family –and 68 years on loan to The Kunstmuseum Basel –Nafea disappeared from public view in January 2016. The installation is part homage to the mysterious painting (with its Buddhist hand signals, enigmatic portraits, and vivid-but-flattened landscape). And a series of questions: What does it mean for a painting to be loved and lost? How can we know what something, or someone, is worth, when its image is infinitely reproducible?
