My favorite museum is the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And Madam X by Sargent is my favorite
painting. I can sit and stare at her for hours. And I just find it mesmerizing, I really do.
I don't know why I relate to that time period. I love the scandal that was behind the fact
that she didn't have straps on when he first painted it and he had to put joules of straps
on because the Salon in France was just aghast at the fact that she was shoulder lists without
anything on her shoulders. I just find the whole history of it fascinating. And of course,
the mastery of the painting.
