'Croquet' by James Tissot - a photo on Flickriver

            Realism in the arts is the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and supernatural elements.  James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902) was a French painter who was dissed for many years as a society fashion artist; which, in fact, he was.  He combined his skills with the subtle light and color of his friends Whistler and Degas in the service of a keen observation of social realism.  It wasn’t what we usually think of as social realism, revealing the plight of the poor and downtrodden, but rather insightful observations of the lives of the fashionable members of the upper class, among whom Tissot moved comfortably in both Paris and, when the social upheaval of the Commune made things too hot there, in London.
