New blog post: James Tissot’s "Chrysanthemums," 1877, celebrates a flower much more exotic, sophisticated, and fascinating than it seems to us now.

New blog post: Tissot’s Illustrations for Renée Mauperin (1884)
The novel by Jules and Edmond de Goncourt was illustrated with ten etchings by #JamesTissot – who, with #KathleenNewton, modeled for some of the characters. The story here: https://t.co/hD4b66LIBA.
New on the blog: “Berthe,” “Sunday Morning,” and “The Newspaper.”
Three 1883 pastels featuring chic, modern Frenchwomen in charming and memorable compositions, seemingly spontaneous, that #JamesTissot reproduced as prints.

From the archive: Tissot’s Romances
James Tissot, a handsome and successful man described by one biographer as a “skirt chaser,” remained single all his life; his attempts to marry were foiled.

#BertheMorisot wrote to her sister, Edma, “I feel a great weight on my stomach and am forever disgusted with painters and with friendship.”

As #JamesTissot's star rose, what paintings were his friends exhibiting, and who was the most discouraged?
