Seductive Surfaces the Art of Tissot
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 09/01/1999
Deliberately stamping his work with the appearance and taste of "vulgar society, " Tissot created paintings and prints that were both aesthetically and socially subversive. He focused on the dichotomy between appearance and reality -- while his surfaces are superficially charming, upon closer examination they can be seen as veneers concealing troubling psychological or social dramas. The authors show that Tissot's narratives may give an Impression of accessibility, but to determine their significance is a complex matter. The book also demonstrates the extent to which the art of Tissot offers a rich archaeological site for those with an interest in Victorian Britain and the Third Empire society.
