Man With the Cat by Cecilia Beaux
Henry Sturgis Drinker and Cecilia Beaux had a complicated history but that didn’t get in the way of Cecilia making him the subject of one of her best portraits. In today’s episode, we’ll find out how Henry was just one example of the lengths this renowned Gilded Age artist went to pursue her dream of an art career. And how her talent, hard work--and the help of a good friend--got her started.   SHOW NOTES “A Long Look” themes are "Easy" by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs and “At the Cafe with You” by Onion All Stars https://pixabay.com/users/onion_all_stars-33331904/   Episode music “Preludes, Op. 28 - No. 21 'Sunday'” by Frédéric Chopin Courtesy of the European Archive and musopen.org https://musopen.org/music/82-preludes-op-28/   “Preludes, Op. 28 - No. 17 'Scene on the Place de Notre-Dame'” by Frédéric Chopin Performed by Ivan Ilic.
