Tissot, Women and Time
Published on January 23, 2025
Exploring the many ways that the French artist James Tissot represented modern women and envisioned their relationship to time during the last decades of the nineteenth century, this exhibition presents two of the AGO’s most beloved Tissot paintings alongside a selection of more than 40 works on paper donated by Allan and Sondra Gotlieb. The contradiction of the period comes alive in these works as the quickness of modernity, exemplified by the newfound speed of travel, fashion and commodity culture, is juxtaposed against the constrained pace of women’s everyday lives, characterized by caregiving, tending to customers or recovering from illness.
The exhibition runs Dec. 21, 20204- February 15, 2025 at the Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas St. W, Toronto, ON Canada.
