He painted two United States Presid ents\, the aristocracy of Europe\, the uber-wealthy of America\, and mytho logical heroes. But he also painted gypsies\, tramps\, street children\, h ard-working laborers\, as well as the horrors of war. And he created dazzl ing landscapes&mdash\;a visual chronicle of the places he visited. \;< /p>\n
Part I of this talk will feature many works from his early career in Paris when his infamous portrait Madame X caused a sca ndal at the Paris Salon.
