At this point we could start a discussion about what is art and what's not. So if anyone wants let's discuss.;>
And I just wanted to post something different, so I hope you found it at least slightly interesting. Maybe I managed to spark your interest a bit.;>

 I really like the fact that it's clearly visible how the times had changed in his paintings. First ladies dress in long pretty dresses and then wearing just short skirts, showing their not only ankles but also legs! how inappropriate it'd been only 40 years earlier. It's incredible how quick and the fashion change. Personally I think that the 20th Century was the one with the most enormous changes, well so far. I guess that in a big part thanks to the two wars. But about it another time.;>

James Tissot

James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902) was a French painter, who spent most of his life in Britain.
I think his works are rather interesting, mostly because they show "situations from life". I've always liked looking at those pretty dressed women, it's such a shame that nowadays going out dress in a long victorian dress is considered rather funny. I'm aware of the fact how uncomfortable it was to wear them everyday and to walk around the extremely dirty streets but I still think they are absolutely fantastic.;> Going back I like his illustrations for Vanity Fair and he did a great work in illustrating Bible.
