James Jacques Joseph Tissot : Ladies in Painting
Loading...
Uploaded by staclynn72 on May 15, 2011
Few painters can give us as accurate an image of high society as Tissot.
He repeatedly painted the same female costumes, often within one picture. This interest in fashion led the critics to label him "the painter of the parvenu," implying that the ostentatious outfits depicted were signs of the social climbing, newly moneyed classes. His pictures were often described as "vulgar," even as -- or perhaps because --they were avidly purchased.
Like his friend and contemporary Whistler, he was at home both in Paris, where he lived and exhibited in the 1860s, and in London, where he ,spent a professionally successful decade his ladies pose in costumes and amid decor that reflect the latest modes.
Sometime in the 1870s Tissot met a divorcee, Mrs. Kathleen Newton, who became his companion and the model for many of his paintings. Mrs. Newton moved into Tissot's household in 1876 and lived with him until her suicide in the late stages of consumption in 1882 at the age of 28.
