Discover the DIA's Art Around Brighton

For the fourth year, the DIA's Inside|Out program has been bringing some of it's masterpieces to local communities and this year, Brighton was selected to host seven famous reproductions from its collection.

The paintings will be on display throughout the community as part of the Inside|Out program through the month of August.

For details of what paintings are spread around town, Brighton Patch will be featuring one painting each day this week. Next up is Madame Paul Poirson by John Singer Sargent which is displayed outside of Buon Gusto at 501 W. Main St.

In her high fashion satin gown, Madame Poirson looks dressed for a dazzling event. And she probably was. As a member of elite society in the 1880s, she mingled with the rich and famous. In fact, she hired one of the most famous portrait painters in Paris—an American—to create this picture. See Madame Poirson in all her glittering splendor.
