Image dimensions: 48.8 x 26 cm James Jacques Tissot (Nantes, 1836 - Chenecey-Buillon, 1902) Draftsman of fashionable high-society women in the late 1800s, James Jacques-Joseph Tissot captured the charmed elegance of his social world by documenting the costumes, decors, and events of the élite. A superb painter, printmaker, and enamelist, Tissot was a student of Hippolyte Flandrin and Louis Lamothe at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, but after fighting in the Franco-Prussian war he moved to London, where a caricature gig at Vanity Fair granted him entry to the upper class. Upon meeting his wife and muse Kathleen Newton, Tissot drastically altered his lifestyle and subject matter and upon her death he returned to Paris with a deep faith and spirituality that was reflected in his work thereafter. Reference: Beraldi, 73 - Tissot, 88 - Wentworth, 82.

  • "Mes Petites Amies, Les Deux Sœurs" signed by Jacques Villon
    By Jacques Villon
    Located in Milwaukee, WI
    This is an original drypoint and aquatint artwork by Jacques Villon. The artist signed in pencil on the lower right. As well as signed in plate at the top right of the image. This is a wonderful artwork of different intaglio processes being brought together in a beautiful almost seamless harmony. The thin pencil like markings and hair detailing are made using the Drypoint printmaking method. Whilst the color details around the girls are made using the Aquatint etching method. Jacques Villon shows his skills as a printmaker with the way these pieces line up perfectly and with how clean the rest of the plate is around the girls.

The oldest of three brothers who became major 20th-century artists, including Raymond Duchamp-Villon and Marcel Duchamp, he learnt engraving at the age of 16 from his maternal grandfather, Emile-Frédéric Nicolle (1830-94), a ship-broker who was also a much appreciated amateur artist. In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...
