WashingtonDuring the 1870s, John Singer Sargent (1856-1925) studied in the Paris atelier of the painter Carolus-Duran(1837-1917), one of the pre-eminent society portraitists of the Third Republic, who honed young Sargent’s gift for the kind of virtuoso portraiture that would make his fortune. Carolus also sowed the seeds of Sargent’s fascination with Spain, imparting to his star pupil not only his own deep devotion to the work of Baroque master Diego Velázquez and to Spanish painting in general, but also his love of Spanish folk life and music.

Fostul model, pe numele său adevărat Ivor Neville Kamen, a devenit cunoscut în 1985, după ce a apărut într-o reclamă la marca de jeans Levi's 501, în care era văzut într-o spălătorie, purtând doar boxeri în timp ce mai multe femei îl urmăreau cu privirile, scrie Agerpres. Reclama, pe acordurile piesei „I Heard It Through The Grapevine” a lui Marvin Gaye, a contribuit la creşterea vânzărilor mărcii şi l-a propulsat pe Kamen la rangul de „sex simbol”, fapt ce a atras atenţia divei pop Madonna. Fascinată de carisma şi de vocea frumoasă a modelului britanic, după cum a declarat ea atunci postului BBC, Madonna i-a permis lui Kamen să înregistreze una dintre piesele ei rămase în afara albumului „True Blue”, iar artista a asigurat partea de backing vocals. Cu piesa „Each Time You Break My Heart” compusă de Madonna, Nick Kamen a ajuns pe locul 5 în topul muzical din Marea Britanie şi s-a clasat pe primul loc în topurile din Austria şi Suedia cu hitul „I Promised Myself” din 1990. Ştirea decesului său a suscitat emoţie în lumea muzicii, John Taylor, de la Duran Duran, asigurând că modelul a fost „unul dintre cei mai amabili şi mai afectuoşi bărbaţi” pe care i-a cunoscut vreodată.

Here is a running list of Goldman's partners that have retired from the firm — or moved on to roles at other companies — since Solomon became CEO.
